Condition Report
The brooches are in overall fair condition. There are two split pearls missing from the swallow design brooch and there is quite serious blackened tarnishing. There are some dents to the Victorian brooch and one of the claws has broken of the settings, there is some tarnishing and discolouration to the outer rim of the brooch. There are slight scratches to the early 20th century brooch in keeping with the age of the piece, one tail feather from the swallow has broken off. The other brooch is a small bar brooch with a later added green gem and diamond cluster, there is serious lead solder holding the cluster in place, the green stones are abraded and chipped. The small coral brooch appears fine.
