Condition Report: Seen with 10x magnification the emeralds have some minute surface reaching inclusions inherent to this gem, all stones are intact & look fine. There are two small 1mm diamonds missing from the tube shape settings surrounding the center emerald that are not easily noticeable to the naked eye. Mounting shows a minor bit of surface wear & some toning to the silver that just needs a buff / polish. Overall, I say ready to wear.
