Purchasing information-
Overall condition good. Some surface wear and scratches in keeping with age. Seed pearl brooch is tarnished. Evidence of repair, the bead detail between the swags appears to have been removed. There are significant scratches to the reverse. Split pearls creamy white with rose and blue overtones. Fairly good skins with minor surface blemishes, fairly good lustre. Diamond brooch has some areas of discolouration, evidence of repair and solder to the brooch fitting, with replacement pin. Diamond fairly bright. Due to the closed back setting and nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a diamond weight. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Profuse light coloured inclusions. Diamond in good condition with some abrasion. One stamped 15ct. One stamped 9ct.
