Condition report:
The collection shows varying degrees of surface wear and tarnishing to the metal components, visible across all overview images. Some yellow metal pieces exhibit loss to the plating, particularly on the interior of the bangles (photo 1). The presentation boxes show minor signs of age-related wear to the fabric linings and exterior surfaces (photo 2). The enamel on the bird-motif pendant appears intact, and the various stone settings appear secure from visual inspection.
