Condition Report
Overall good condition, all brooches would benefit from a clean. All the pins and hinges are in working order. All have minor surface scratches. The sapphire in one of the Edwardian brooches shows some abrasion and two small chips to the girdle, and colour zoning is visible. The rubies to the other Edwardian brooch are quite light in colour and a little cloudy. Both these brooches have safety chains attached, as does the brooch set with split pearls and turquoise, this brooch is very slightly twisted, with possible replacement pin. Some of the split pearls have some blemishes.
