Condition

In good condition. The diamonds are near colorless and decorative in quality. The slightly off-round pearls have a silvery white body color, some of which exhibit rose and green overtones, with a medium to good luster, and no readily apparent blemishing. Minor enamel damage to the gnome and the adze. The ruby and sapphires on the puppet charm are medium shades and are of good clarity. Please note the pearls have not been tested for natural origin.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
