9.25.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 1296 – I am not a gemologist and cannot speak to the quality of the stones, the necklace and bracelet remain overall intact, chain links articulate and clasps function well, stones appear with inherent imperfections, all appear to be secure in their bezel surrounds, the stone just to the left of the central cameo on the necklace appears intact though it exhibits a hairline at the top, this appears stabilized and may be inherent from the time of setting, a clear coating is present on the stone with faint lines visible in the overlay, faceted stones show only light wear at raised facet junctions, cabochons and cameos appear mostly clean, the blue stone (possibly druzy) on the bracelet has a small chip at the edge though this may also be inherent to its natural formation, metal surfaces show light surface wear to the reverse with some tarnishing, overall I note no major loss, restoration, or apparent instability
