There is minor wear to the S.Morden & Co. retractable pencil, with just light surface scratches. The enameled retractable pencil is possibly later enameled, a lot of enamel has worn away, it is crudely engraved with Mordan. The heart ring has minor wear with slight discolouration to the gold and wear to the engraving, ring size L. The other ring is fairly thin, there are stones deficient to the band of the ring. The enamel is fairly worn in places. The garnets are very abraded, there is a later repair to the back of the head of the ring with grey solder easily visible, looks to have been a strengthening repair. The paste has dicolouration behind it and abrasion to facet edges, ring size M.
