The green enamel panel is loose from the mount and requires repair. Surface wear, scuffs, chips and nicks to green enamel. Chips, losses, pitting and scuffs to white enamel. Greyish discolouration and fractures to half pearls. The pendant mount is possibly gilt metal, with dark grey areas to the sides, either as a result of wear to the gilding or due to possible dark solder repairs. The mount has chips, dings and scuffs and is missing a panel/glazed aperture to the back. The unassociated brooch surmount has general surface wear and the pin is stiff to operate. Combined gross weight (including later silver-gilt surmount) approx. 13gm.
