Lot 8

Condition Report:

In our opinion, the garnets are well matched for colour, of medium purplish red with typical inclusions, visible to the naked eye, surface abrasions and some chips to the facet edges. Possibility that one faceted garnet has been later replaced with a garnet bead. The seed pearls display a combination of white hue with grey overtones and creamy hue with rosé overtones, are irregular-shaped with natural blemishes. Very light abrasions to the metal consistent with age and gentle wear. Hinge mechanism, clasp and safety chain are in good working order.

Overall condition of the bangle is very good.
