Condition Report
The lot is in good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The aquamarine has some very minor nibbles to few facet edges and three small nicks, one to the table facet. The diamonds appear bright and well matched, estimated total diamond weight 0.75ct, individual diamonds are too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Some of the small diamonds have minor nicks and abrasion to facet-edges and two of the diamonds have larger chips. The brooch fitting is detachable with a hinged loop fitting to attach the surmount. The loop fitting is broken off and would require attention. The single-cut diamond surmount shows significant tarnish/discolouration. The box shows some discolouration to the velvet with a compartment to the base. The outside of the box has minor scratches and scuffs and has a sticker to the top. Box length 5.7cm. Please see important notices in the front of the catalogue for coloured stones.
