Purchasing information-
The pendant is in generally good condition, all of the stones are present. There is a small amount of abrasion to the facet edges of the tourmalines however nothing extremely serious. Unfortunately some of the gold has become tarnished and almost purple in colour to the front openwork design. The seed pearls are all in good condition, however the suspended cultured pearl has more of a yellow colour. The box is generally worn, as expected, the fabric is worn and the hinge loose.
