Condition
In overall quite good condition. All diamonds appear to be original. Locket hinge good and the cover fits securely (though slightly worn with age). The bail was evidently originally "split" to allow it to be attached to a larger chain, but has since been professionally gold-soldered closed. No marks. The chain is of a later date as noted; in good condition. Spring rings 14K white gold and so marked.
