The lot is in fair overall condition with light scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. One of the swallows has lost its tail and two have lost split pearls. The remaining split pearls are a well matched creamy white hue with minor-moderate nacre damage, one with significant nacre damage. The clasp is a replacement with soft solder evident. The pin is bent. The central turquoise is set slightly at an angle and is possibly a replacement, it sits slightly small within the multi-claw mount. The turquoise are a light blue through green hue. The central clover has an uneven surface to the reverse, possibly indicating a small repair.
