The lot is in good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The two bar pin has marks for 9ct gold and is on a sprung hinge. Some of the diamonds are chipped. The diamonds appear moderately bright and well matched. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The rubies are a moderately well matched pinkish red through red hue with minor abrasions. The cultured pearl shows a good lustre and rattles when gently shaken. Weight 32.7gms.
