Overall condition good. Minor surface scratches and slight discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. Two dark solder marks can be seen on the chain marking the later replacement chain section, to the bolt ring clasp stamped 15ct. Two split pearls are deficient. The opals are well matched with a white body colour, showing a range of hues and a good play-of-colour. The split pearls are well matched with a white body colour and muted lustre. The split pearls untested for natural origin. Stamped 15ct. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue or on our website for coloured gemstones.
