Condition Report
The lot is in fair to good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. Replacement base metal pin to one. Swallow brooch stamped 9ct. The seed pearl to the branch is a probable replacement with glue visible to the underside. Uneven surface. The split pearls appear well matched, some with significant surface wear. The wishbone is a different colour to the bar and may be a replacement. The wishbone brooch bar is significantly dented. Small areas of discolouration.
