CONDITION
Good antique condition. To the rear top of the turquoise setting is a small hole ( see photos ), cannot be seen from the front and does not affect the integrity of the setting. Pearl drop probably not original but looks lovely. No chips/ damage to Turquoise. One tiny Pearl seems to have been replaced, not noticeably unless using a loupe. Chain is lovely, barrel clasp works very securely.
Please note boxes and chains are for display only unless otherwise stated.
