Condition report:
The collection is in good overall condition. The white metal brooches and pendant show minor surface tarnish and light wear consistent with age. The silver napkin ring is heavily tarnished with a deep patina but the engraving and hallmarks remain clearly legible. The presentation boxes show minor age-related wear, light shelf marking, and some discolouration to the interior silk and velvet linings.
