Condition Report
Both items are in fair condition. There is a chip to the outer facets of the garnet in the brooch, one split pearl has cracked, there are dents and areas of discolouration to the outer hollow border. The pin has been replaced and is too long. The vinaigrette is tarnished and the hallmark is worn places and difficult to read.
