Condition Report:
Overall in very good and functional condition. Eight of ten pairs are made using the guilloché technique, resulting in exceptionally fine and intricate patterns. The enamel is in very good condition and retains its bright colors with a few very minor surface scratches, only visible upon close inspection. The black enamel stripes of one pair present with small dimples concentrated to edges, not visually distracting. The silver presents with very faint surface scratches consistent with gentle use, with minor tarnish concentrated to the backsides. One ring of one turquoise cufflink appears to have been sensitively replaced at some point in the history of the piece. Ready to wear.
