Condition Report
The pendant is in good condition in keeping with age and use. There is some tarnishing to the metal work on both the front and the back. There is also evidence of soft solder repair work to the reverse. The diamonds are bright and well matched. The pearls have a white body colour and whilst differ in shape, they are also well matched. The glass on the picture locket reverse is a later replacement and does not fit well. It is possible the suspension loop is also associated. The cameo is in good condition only displaying some very minor surface scratches. The case has incurred some scuffing to the leather.
