Condition Report
The brooch is in good condition overall in keeping with age and use. Yellow metal mount is displaying general scratches, marks and tarnishing to the whole. Under 10 X magnification one can see some pitting and soft solder stains. The garnets are well matched in the setting and are quite a grey move colour. Under 10 X magnification one can see various inclusions dispersed throughout the stones along with some chips and deeper abrasion to the surface. The claws are quite worn but currently functioning - all stones are present and secure. The associated safety chain is a later addition.
