The condition of the vintage brooch is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent stones missing or damage to the stones. The clasp securely fastens. A darkened patina remains to the silver surface, adding a nice contrast (this can be polished out if desired). A wonderful vintage brooch! |
