Condition Report
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear. The opal displays good play of colour, predominantly greens and orange. With some abrasion to the surface, one of the ends is chipped. The diamonds are bright to fairly bright, lively and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The clasp operates but is loose.
