More Information

On inspection with a 10x loupe there are tiny chips and imperfections, inclusions to the rubies. There are chips and small losses to the mother-of-pearl and some minute chips and losses to the enamel. There are some small chips to the enamel on the back of the pendant. The metal is unmarked. The clasp works well.
