Condition Report
Overall condition fair. There are areas of discolouration to the bar, specifically to the white metal setting. The rose-cut diamonds are chipped and abraded, they vary in colour, with some drawing significant brown. Some settings may need to be secures. The bar appears to be possibly late 19th century, the overlaid vine and paste grapes added at a later date. There are areas of dirt and wear to the green paste grapes. The back pink and catch is secure.
