Condition Report
The lot is in good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The hinged bangle has been resized with a section added in slightly different colour gold. Inner diameter 6.3cms. Brooch fitting length 5.4cms. The brooch and bangle come with a fitted case. The case appears original but the inside has been re-fitted and the bangle mount now fits snugly, without the gem-sections. The ring and earring mounts are later additions. The ring mount holds the larger flower, the earring mounts hold the two smaller floral clusters. Length of smaller cluster 1.8cms. Length of larger cluster 2.4cms. The diamonds appear bright and well matched. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. The cultured pearls are replacements and moderately well matched, one appears slightly more yellow in colour, the larger pearl is slightly ovoid and possibly natural and original, it is untested. The mounts range between 15ct and 18ct gold.
