Condition Report
Overall condition fair - good. The old brilliant cut diamonds have a fairly strong yellow tint, some of the diamonds are replacements, one is replaced with a modern brilliant cut and is noticable in the difference of the colour and cut. Many of the stones have chips/surface reaching inclusions to the surface. The diamond in the drop surmount does not sit perfectly in it's mount and may be a later replacement. The cultured pearl has a hair-line crack running around the top third. The connecting bar appears to have been repaired at some point. The piece has been highly polished. Unhallmarked. Weight 5.3gms.
