Condition Report
The lot is in good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The earrings have hinged hook fittings for pierced ears, fittings possible replacements. The gems and enamel are possibly replacements. The enamel has chips, abrasion and wear. The coral is a mottled pink hue with growth striations and small polyp holes. Coral untested for natural colour origin. The diamonds appear bright and well matched, estimated total diamond spread weight 0.45ct, though this in no way reflects the actual total diamond weight. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades.
