More Information

None of the diamonds are free of flaws. The central diamond in the lower pendant has a fissure which surfaces, creating a small chip which can be felt with a fingernail. We would suggest that the stones are well matched in colour and clarity, being in the region of K - M, SI1 or 2, other than the central diamond mentioned being I2.
The blade mounts have very slight bends and wear consistent with normal use and age. The chain is in good condition, the clasp works well and is marked on the clasp. The pendant is unmarked. Overall it is in a presentable condition.
