Good condition. There is some abrasion to the facet edges of the demantoid garnet, there is an easily visible horse tail inclusion. The split pearls are all quite well matched, the nacre is damaged to a couple. The claws to the central rose cut diamond need to be secured, the claws to the garnet also need to be checked. There are slight scratches to the setting and pin. The pin and catch is secure, there is some tarnishing to the safety chain. The box is in quite good condition.
