Condition Report
In good overall condition. The lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Setting of the the citrine is a little distorted. Minor nibbles to the hobnail glass. Hallmarks partly distorted but legible. The overall appearance of the stones is extremely good, gemmologists observations using magnification (10x loupe) appear as very small splintering/nibbles to bevelled edges in places, slight polishing imperfections to the cabochons – natural to the stone matrix, very fine natural ‘fracture’ type lines in hardstone veins, no cracks or replacements observed, citrine facet edges crisp.
