Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear in keeping with general wear. The locket is tarnished. The locket opens to reveal two Victorian photograph portraits. The diamond detail is bright, lively and well matched, all settings will need attention. Clasp to chain stamped 9ct. Due to the closed back settings and nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total diamond weight. Based on the surface spread alone of the diamonds, they appear to occupy the same surface space as diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.50ct, however it is important to note that as it is not possible to gauge the depth of the stones, this estimated weight does not reflect the true weight of the diamonds in any way.
