Condition report:
The collection is in good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. Light tarnishing is visible on several base metal chains and earring components. The enamel on the pansy and tiger brooches appears intact. All visible rhinestones on the larger pavé-set brooches are present. The faux pearl strand shows minor surface wear to the nacre. One earring pair has a small area of finish loss on the gold-tone button center.
