Purchasing information-
Overall condition fair. Some surface wear and tarnishing in keeping with age. Significant sections of enamel deficient, remaining enamel with abrasion and chips. Red-gems in good condition with minor abrasion. Cultured pearl creamy white with rose and greenish overtones, possibly a replacement. Fairly good condition with some surface blemishes. Fairly good lustre. Diamonds fairly bright and well matched. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to provide an accurate total rose-cut diamond weight. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Minor inclusions visible under magnification. Diamonds in fair to good condition with some nicks.
