Condition Excellent condition, quite beautiful. No cracks or chips, but there are small marks and dings in the filigree, especially around and on the ends (see photos). There are a few scratches on the section. The clip is excellent, and very firmly attached. The imprints in the sterling are good and readable. It's a gorgeous piece, despite its wear, and it is working very well.
