Condition Report
The brooch is in good condition. One or two stones are slightly loose and will need the claws tightening. Strong banding can be seen to the emerald, the inclusions affect the light transmission through the stone making it appear opaque. Some inclusions are surface reaching The diamonds are bright and lively. The rubies are well matched in terms of saturation of colour, small inclusions and minor chips can also be seen on some stones The brooch has incurred some minor scratches in keeping with its age and general wear .
