In our opinion, the lapis lazuli and rock crystal carvings are in very good condition, with very minor scratches. The emeralds are of green hue with strong to vivid saturation with some typical natural inclusions. The diamonds are bright and lively, likely of G to H colour and VS - SI clarity as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting.

The mounting displays minor scratches commensurate with age and wear. Clasp secure.


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

Overall condition very good.
