Condition Report: All stones / pearls are intact & look fine w/ tiny black bands on 2 of the pearls as noted in the GIA report (you can easily remove) & the tiny rose / rough cut accent diamonds displaying some of their natural surface characteristics. Cording shows very minimal wear or discoloration. Gold shows some light surface wear & works properly. Seen with 10x magnification the tongue on the clasp has been previously repaired. I say ready to wear.
