The lot is in fair overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. Three diamonds deficient. The pin bar is a replacement and shows soft solder. The pin has partial foreign stamps. The clasp is a base metal replacement. The diamonds appear moderately well matched. Estimated total diamond spread weight 2.10cts, though this in no way indicates the actual total diamond weight. Most diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Please see important notices in the back of the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The rubies are a deep purplish red hue with significant abrasions. Some of the wing tips are slightly dented and worn.
