Purchasing information
    Overall condition good. There are scratches to the brooch in keeping with overall wear. There are some areas of discolouration to the settings. There are chips and inclusions to the diamonds visible with the unaided eye, individual size and/or setting prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. The ruby eyes are in good condition. The swallow was possibly part of a larger piece, the brooch fitting has been added at a later date. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue and online for coloured gemstones. The US prohibits the importation of items containing rubies or jadeite originating in Burma. For your convenience we have applied this notice to lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma, or those of indeterminate origin.
