Purchasing information-
Overall condition fair to good. Some surface wear and discolouration in keeping with age and general wear. Composite piece, made up of three elements, the garnet pendant, bow surmount and chain, dating from the same period. Chain has replacement clasp, some chain links are slightly misshapen, evidence of repair. Garnet within a closed-back setting, fairly good clarity with typical inclusions, good condition with a few nicks. Diamonds differ slightly in hue, closed-back settings. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it has not been possible to provide an accurate total diamond weight. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Diamonds in fair condition with nicks and chips. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue or on our website for coloured gemstones.
