Condition Report
The lot is in fair overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The pendant is stylistically attributed to Falize. The loop surmount has the French eagle stamp and a partial makers mark which is rubbed and split. The diamonds are all replacement gems. One of the diamonds is significantly different to the others, tinted, not as bright and a different cut. The remaining diamonds appear bright and well matched, estimated total diamond weight 0.02ct. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. The central mount is discoloured and partially destroyed, the other mounts have small but noticeable dents. The blue enamel flower to one side has cracks and two large, noticeable chips that do not go through to the metal. The cream enamel is discoloured with faint traces of gilt. Possibly originally part of some larger item of jewellery.
