Overall fair to poor condition. One of the larger cameo brooches has a large crack to the shell, wear to the carved detail and significant repairs to the mount. A smaller brooch needs attention to the collet mount as the shell is loose. Another brooch has a large chip to the shell and damage to the detail on the surround. The others in general have moderate surface scratches and tarnishing and general wear, some show wear to the carved detail.
