Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface scratches in keeping with general age and wear. Areas of discolouration. The two larger diamonds estimated weight 0.80ct each, I-J colour, P1 clarity. Smaller diamonds individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Few with very small natural surface reaching cavities. Fine feathers and fractures can be seen under magnification. Due to the style/nature of the old-cut and setting restrictions of the brooch all grades and weights are to be used as an approximate estimate only. Rotating pin clasp in working order.
