In good condition with gentle surface wear to the mounting. The basket for the central amethyst is composed of white gold with the balance of the mounting composed of platinum. The modified marquise-cut amethyst is a rich medium-deep purple with even color distribution; eye-clean with minute abrasions to the facet junctions and a very small chip to the girdle. The calibré-cut amethysts are medium to medium-deep purple, predominantly eye-clean with 2 examples bearing chips and one lightly included, but this is seen only under close inspection. The diamonds are approximately G-I color, VS-SI clarity.
