Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear and light scratches in keeping with age. The pendent component is stamped 18. The bar brooch is a later addition. Cultured pearls creamy colour, with rose and bluish overtones, fairly good skins with some surface blemishes, good lustre, likely to be replacements. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total diamond weight. Based on the surface spread alone, they appear to occupy the same surface space as diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.10ct. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Minor inclusions visible. Diamonds in fair condition with some surface abrasion and small nibbles. Possible restoration to enamel. Possible historic adaption.
