Condition Report
Overall condition fair. There are scratches to pendant in keeping with overall wear. The central drop is not original and has been added at a later date, there is a dent to the back of the central panel. There are typical tigerstripe inclusions to the amethyst visible with magnification. There are visible areas of deterioration to the foil backing of the colourless paste. There are some areas of greening to the initial panel. Initial panel is a possible replacement. The chain is probably not original however it is of a similar period. The clasp is secure.
