The diamonds are relatively bright and lively with a few internal black spot inclusions. The enamel has several losses, mainly on the outer rays and also the star on the right drop. Two of the needle drop backings have been resoldered and six needles are missing overall. The central drop does not have a glass to the backing. Overall in moderate condition considering the enamel.
