Condition Report
Overall condition fair. Some surface wear in keeping with age. Citrines vary in colour from pale yellow to brownish orange. Some with uneven colour distribution. Two are garnet replacements. Fairly good clarity with typical inclusions. Gemstones in fair condition with some abrasion and nibbles to the facet edges. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones. Diamonds fairly bright and well matched. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Obvious inclusions visible under 10x magnification. Diamonds in fair to poor condition with abrasion, some large nibbles and a small chip to one. Pin is a replacement. Hinged suspension loop is damaged. Soft solder repair that previously fixed the loop in place has also been damaged. The suspension loop now moves freely on its hinge. Unhallmarked.
