Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. Bands show evidence of alteration and are misshapen. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched to each ring. Small light and dark inclusions can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The opals have a well matched white colour with good to fair play-of-colour predominately showing blue and green hues. One stone is an iridescent paste replacement. The split pearls have a discoloured silvery-grey to yellowish, some show heavy abrasion and peeling. Pendant stamped 15ct to the reverse.
