Two early 20th century gold gem-set brooches.

Overall condition good. Minor surface wear in keeping with general wear. Slight damage to second brooch, one of the outer opal collets has become detached form the surmount. This will need attention. Bruising visible to reverse of second brooch. Abrasion to blue zircon and opals. Red gem detail is possibly ruby. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers and fractures can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment.
