Condition
In good condition. The 28 calibré-cut emeralds weighing approximately 3.60 carats are a bright green color, they are lightly included overall with at least two examples bordering on moderately to heavily included. Some of the stones have small cavities due to surface reaching inclusions and a few have some light scratching due to age; one emerald at the end is significantly chipped. The one marquise-shaped diamond weighing approximately .40 carat is approximately F-G color and VS-SI clarity, and the 92 old mine diamonds weighing approximately 1.50 cts are predominantly H-I color and SI clarity. There is very slight chipping to the enamel but no major losses. Dimensions: 3 1/4 inches by 1/2 inch.
