Restringing of the necklace at the buyer's expense is recommended. The clasp is in fine working order. Coral Characteristics (graded in setting) It is the opinion of the gemologist that the jade beads in this necklace display characteristics consistent with those observed in natural coral that have not been color enhanced with dye. The beads are a quite uniform medium reddish orange hue, a substantial percentage of the beads show minor to moderate growth lines with associated minor mottling to the color which is not readily noticeable, one bead near the center exhibits a minor cavity associated with growth. The fifteen beads at the rear of the necklace surrounding and including the clasp show a slightly worn "matte" finish, the remainder show well polished surfaces.
