The case is damaged. The pendant is lacking two pieces of decoration (one present) and the enamelling is worn in places. The brooches have some wear to the enamelling. One of the brooches has an off centred pearl. The brooches have later fitted pin and revolver catches. None of the pieces bear a hallmark, but in our opinion they would test as gold. Gross weight 32.8g. CR made 5th October 2010 Pendant - 8.25mm x 6.32mm x 4.46mm Brooch 1 - 5.38mm x 4.16mm x 2.15mm Brooch 2 - 5.25mm x 3.95mm x 2.25mm All measurements are approximate.
