The is a chip to the star facet of the central stone, and a chip to the girdle - both are visible at 10x magnification, but not with the naked eye. One of the outer stones shows a fracture running across a few of the star facets. There are a couple of nicks and nibbles to the girdles of the two outer stones. All stones show general scratching, wear and tear commensurate with age and use. There is moderate to heavy wear to the claws of the central stone, and minor to moderate wear to the outer stones. All stones are currently secure, but some retipping may be required. The settings appear in good order, showing general wear and tear and some light thinning, but no splitting or signs of repair. Shank shows general scratching and wear throughout, with some minor misshaping around the base, but no signs of splitting, resizing or repair.
