The goods of this heading may have parts of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal of natural or cultured pearls of precious or semi-precious stones (natural synthetic or reconstructed) even if such parts constitute more than minor fittings or minor ornamentation provided that these parts do not give the articles their essential character.
