Condition Report
Overall condition fair to good. Some surface scratches. Pendant and surmount components both early 20th century, but originate from different sources. Chain is a later addition. Enamel nibbled and abraded. Amethyst purple with colour banding, minor abrasion and nibbles. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers at the front of our catalogue for coloured gemstones. Seed pearl creamy white with rose overtones. Skin in fair condition with surface blemishes, and glue residue. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total diamond weight. Based on the surface spread alone, they appear to occupy the same surface space as diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.10cts, however it is not possible to gauge the depth of the stones, this estimated weight does not reflect the true weight of the diamonds in any way. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Diamonds in fair condition with some surface fractures. Unhallmarked. Weight 5.4gms.
