Purchasing information-
The condition of this lot is fair, with wear to the metal in keeping with age and wear. The central topaz has wear to the edges of the table facet and some residue visible through the reverse of the gem. Accumulated dirt around the diamonds gives them a dull appearance, making it difficult to determine their clarity and colour. The pin appears to have been added at a later time, and the brooch may previously have had a pendant attachment.
