There is some discolouration to the metal in places, but this could be case-hardening. The earring components move well and there is no obvious evidence that they have been repaired/soldered. All of the rose cut diamonds are present, and there appear to be no missing pearls. The pearls are well matched in colour and symmetry, there is no obvious evidence of cracking. The top pearls are well matched, they display some slight surface wear, the millegrain edged collet setting appears to be free from significant wear/splitting. The earring hooks have functioning hinges and clip securely into a c-clasp. The metal is unmarked.
