Property of a Private Sydney Collector

Comprising: a brooch/pendant, centring a collet-set oval onyx cameo depicting a woman in profile to an enamelled surround, and within a sphere and twisted rope frame, the reverse a glazed compartment, length 45mm, width 38mm, a pair of earrings ensuite, shepherds hook fittings, length 44mm, mounted in 15ct gold, combined gross weight approximately 34.4 grams.

Accompanied by a period fitted Hardy Brothers box.

In our opinion, the enamel is intact with a few small scratches and nicks seen on close inspection. The onyx cameos in very good condition with minor scratches.

The mounting displays minor scratches, small dents and minor tarnish commensurate with age and wear.

The demi parure is of very good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.

Overall condition is very good considering its period.
