In our opinion, the topaz is of blue hue with strong saturation, eye clean. The sapphires of vibrant yellow hue, moderate saturation, some minor typical naturally occuring inclusions. The emeralds of green hue, moderate saturation, some typical naturally occuring inclusions. The diamonds are bright and lively, probably of F-G colour and SI clarity, asgauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting. Clasp secure, pendant attachment.
The mounting displays very minor scratches commensurate with age and wear.
The pendant/brooch is of very good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.
Overall condition very good.
