Condition Report
Overall condition fair to poor. There are scratches and areas of heavy black discolouration to the brooch. All three sapphires are replacements, the claws appear loose and would need attention. There are chips to some of the diamonds visible with magnification, individual size and/or setting prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment.
The back pin and catch is secure. Part of the clasp is damaged where a section is pushed up to support the bar half of the prong has broken off. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones. Unhallmarked.
