Condition report:
The items appear to be in good used condition overall. Some metal components, particularly the clasps and the cufflinks, show signs of surface oxidation and tarnish (photo 1). The interior of the black jewellery case for the single pearl strand is heavily stained with darkened marks to the lining (photo 2). The beadwork on the turquoise-coloured necklaces appears intact, though the strands are somewhat tangled within the display box (photo 3).
