Overall fair to good condition. There is a black hairline crack that runs from the tip of the top finger to the gem cluster at the base of the piece. There are small white patches to three fingers on the bends of the fingers. There are four small white spots measuring between 1 and 3mm to both sides of the arm. The cluster at the base looks to be a small ring that has been fitted around the original piece, it does seem to be of a similar age. The original pendant base is different in gold colour to the added ring. The emerald has a 1mm chip to the edge next to the collet setting. The facet edges to the emerald show wear and it is heavily included, there are some fine surface reaching cracks caused from the inclusions. The diamonds are rose and rough cut, three are rose-cut and five are rough cut. The settings would benefit from a clean. There are areas of tarnishing. Adhesive can be seen in some areas when observed closely.
