There are also hallmarks showing that the necklace was made in London in 1972. The hook part of the claps is also stamped '9' and '375'. ConditionThis vintage necklace is 47 years old. The pearls are all in lovely condition: well matched and with a good lustre. The silk stringing is nice and clean. There are no missing opals or emeralds. The opals are all in lovely condition; under magnification it can be seen that there is a scratch / surface reaching inclusion running across the diameter of the central emerald but this is not visible to the naked eye. A couple of the other emeralds have a couple of pit marks (again, not visible to the naked eye). The clasp closes securely and opens easily but sits further out of the clasp that you might expect when the clasp is closed (see photo). Please see all photos for full detail.
