Condition 
As part of the circular economy, this antique item has been pre-treasured and loved. As is typical, there are a few fine surface scratches and abrasions, forming an attractive patina that speaks to its history.
In good condition overall, and with secure stone settings for the cross. The emeralds in this piece naturally exhibit surface-reaching fractures, a common and expected characteristic found in over 90% of genuine emeralds. These features are an inherent part of the stone’s natural formation and do not detract from its overall beauty. The presence of such fractures confirms that these are natural emeralds, as synthetic or imitation stones typically lack these inclusion patterns. 
 
This is a versatile heirloom piece, ideal for layering or as a standalone statement.
