Condition Report
Overall condition good. There are slight scratches to the brooch in keeping with the age of the piece. Personal engraving to reverse reads 'Amy Eliza Himsworth in memory of my dear father 1907'. The diamonds are bright, individual size and/or setting prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment.
The scrolling detail may have originally been enamelled. The split pearls are fairly well matched, there are slight scratches to the nacre. The back pin and catch is secure.
