Purchasing information-
The lot is in good overall condition with light scratches in keeping with general wear. Safety chain possible later addition. Small file nick to bottom edge of reverse. The applied enamel floral panels move slightly. One screw to the reverse has been covered with soft solder. Each of the transluscent red enamel flower terminals to the central bar has a small white enamel dot. Most of the small red enamel trefoil flowers to the central bar show surface wear and the right red enamel flower terminal shows a small chip to the enamel through to the metal base, with slight wear to the mount. The diamonds appear bright and well matched. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue and on our website for Coloured Gemstones. The ruby is a medium slightly purplish red hue with broken silk-type inclusions.
