General surface wear throughout, with chips, nicks and scuffs to the gemstones and mount. Many of the gemstones contain natural inclusions such as fractures, fissures and minerals/crystals that are visible to the unaided eye, some of these inclusions surface-reaching. The mount is hand finished and has surface imperfections that are typical to a hand made piece, such as areas of pitting/porosity and tool marks, with patchy tarnishing/discolouration. The edges of the settings have patchy wear. The visor safety clasp is possibly later replaced but both the clasp and pin are currently functioning. The mount is untested for metal standard but may be a silver and gold or silver and gilt combination. Gross weight approximately 22gm.
