Condition Report
All items are in fair/poor condition. There are scratches and dents to the bar brooch, the cameo is worn and dirty, the pin is metal and has possibly been replaced, the gold is split near one termination. The citrine pendant would benefit from a good clean, there is uneven colour distribution visible to the citrine with 10x magnification, the setting appears a little worn. The matching cameo panels appear a little worn, the cameos vary in colour, there are scratches and areas of discolouration to the outer borders, one with a brooch fitting added at a later date.
