Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear and age. Cut and setting of rose-cut diamond prevents total carat weight estimation. The diamond is fairly bright and lively. Small light coloured inclusions can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The split pearls are possible replacement with a well matched creamy-white colour, and fair lustre. The enamel has scratches, small chips and abrasion. The hair shows some abrasion and is slightly discoloured.
