The largest panel has been squashed to the back, with kinks and bends to the gallery of the setting. The pin is slightly out of shape and the clasp is currently functioning. Solder join visible to tip of smaller panel, possibly as a result of repair. The mount has an indistinct mark to one side but is untested for metal standard. Diamonds have variable colour and clarity, some stones with chips and fractures, many of the smaller stones with greyish hues. Chips, scuffs and fractures to sapphires. Gross weight approximately 3.7gm.
