Condition Report
Overall fair to good condition, the pendant would benefit from a clean, the split pearls vary in colour, there is pitting and crazing to the nacres. There is abrasion to the table facet and some of the facet edges. There is wear to the gold towards the edges of the reverse.
The bar brooch has fairly well matched amethysts all with a deep purple colour saturation, with minor abrasion to some of the facet edges. The amethysts are a little loose in their settings. There is a small chip to one of the diamonds. There is some green tarnishing to areas to the reverse of the brooch. The pin and clasp are in working order.
