Purchasing information
    Overall fair condition. Both have easily visible surface scratches from general wear. The pendant has a fairly large chip to one edge and the tip. The brooch has a replacement pin but it is in good working order. The front of the brooch is very dull and there are a couple of small surface cracks to the reverse.
