The brooch is in overall good condition. The diamond point detail is bright and lively. The sapphires are fairly well matched. The large central sapphire has a stronger blue hue. The ruby eyes are not well matched in colour. All settings will need attention. Nibbles, chips and scratches can be seen, in keeping with age.
