Condition

Both pieces in good condition overall. BRACELET: Evidence of minor scratching to the gold commensurate with wear. The two citrines are bright yellow and medium light brownish yellow, eye-clean. The two amethysts are light and medium-deep purple. The beryl exhibits a faint green tone and the indicolite is a richly saturated deep blue. The tourmaline is a medium-deep slightly bluish green, and the aquamarine is light blue, both lightly included. BROOCH: Surface scratching and minor discoloration to the gold. The aquamarine is very light blue, lightly included with only a few visible inclusions. The calibré-cut rubies are medium-deep slightly pinkish red, heavily included with examples of abrasions at the facet junctions.
