Condition Report:
length of necklace approximately 75cm, please note there is no clasp, so we cannot lay out the necklace as a single row. There is a small rectangular panel fitted to the edge of the setting of the largest moonstone, however, this has no mark to it. Attempts to test the metal of the settings are inconclusive. There are no butterfly clips to the earrings, but the top of one of the posts is detailed 375, the other top being unmarked. There are traces of marks to one of the posts, but are too worn to be able to read with clarity. The post fittings are probably later then the moonstone drops
