Condition Report
Overall condition fair to poor. There are scratches to the brooch in keeping with slight wear. Several cannetille sections are damaged with areas of rope work missing. The back glass panel is possibly not original as is does nor fit flush. The catch has been reattached at a later date, there is visible solder. Some of the original rubies have been replaced with red paste. The settings may need to be secured. There is a chip to one of the diamond points. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers at the front of our catalogue for coloured gemstones. The US prohibits the importation of items containing rubies or jadeite originating in Burma. For your convenience we have applied this notice to lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma, or those of indeterminate origin.
