Condition Report
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches in keeping with general wear. The bangle has been heavily cleaned, with a lightly textured finish. The plain half-bangle section is slightly misshaped and bruised, small repair/repairs, general small pitting. Diamonds and sapphires possibly later replacements. Individual size and setting of rose-cut diamonds prevents accurate colour, clarity and weight assessment. The spread of the diamonds match an approximate total weight of 0.30ct, this is a guide only and not a reflection on the true carat weight. Nicks, chips and inclusions are present. The sapphires are a light blue hue with areas of colour zoning. There is abrasion to the facet edges and typical inclusions present. Inside the bangle is engraved '19 Febrero 1900', engraving appears crisp.
