The overall condition is good. There are some scratches and tarnishing to the mount. The plique-a-jour enamel is in good condition. The sapphires vary in colour from light to dark blue. The emerald is dark green with an uneven colour saturation. Due to the heavy typical inclusions within the stone, some surface reaching, the colour appears banded. The emerald is translucent to opaque. The rubies are pinkish red with some abrasion to the facet edges. The diamonds are in good condition. Estimated total diamond weight 0.12ct. The wings are articulated.
