It is the opinion of the gemologist that the coral in this necklace has the surface appearance and color that is consistant with natural coral that has not been dyed. The coral beads have an orange red to slightly pink orange hue of medium tone and moderately strong to strong saturation. They show no appreciable wear to the naked eye. The polished gold beads and clasp show scattered superficial scratches that are not readily visible to the naked eye. All pave work is complete. The diamonds are E-G in color and VS1-VS2 in clarity. The cut is very good to excellent and the diamonds show no wear.
