Detailed Condition
Very good - excellent vintage condition. All stones are present with a few tiny ones showing darkening. This is seen only if looking closely and does not affect the beauty of this piece at all. A few stones have a very light blue cast around their perimeters which again, is hardly noticeable. Rhodium finish has a pink cast to it which is beautiful and intact. The plating on the very top of the clip, on the back, looks a tad different. Perhaps it was replated at that spot, don't know, but there is no damage there as far as I can see, even when looking with a loupe. Again, this does not affect the beauty or wearability of the piece at all, but noted.
This same piece is offered for sale on another website for $2875.
My price reflects the detailed condition points I have mentioned above
