. The necklace is in fair condition there are signs of repair. There is one scroll of the centre cluster detached and the smallest diamond is lacking. The size may have been altered slightly looking at the spacer bars and some joints are slightly split. The central drop is 2.8cm. It was sold by Nigel Milne 18 January 1995 with the original catalogue entry for £10,250. Possibly the frame was re-made at this time. Box is not original but in a Nigel Milne box. It has fittings to the reverse for a tiara and the tiara frame is present. It fastens with either of the 'chain ' section hooking on to either end of the 'drop' section. It bears no hallmark nor stamp but in our opinion would test as silver and gold. The approximate qualities of the diamonds are; colour I/J/K, clarity SI1/SI2/I1/I2/I3. Gross weight 22.8 grams. CR made 23.02.21.
