3.25.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1147- the piece is impressive and quite large, I observe no apparent significant loss, the turquoise stones are securely set in mounts, exhibiting only minor inherent imperfections such as fissures and irregularity, I note some roughness/minute chips and minor imperfections along the stone edges, though these may be part of the stone's natural formation, see images, one stone at upper left mount shows a very fine hairline at the corner, mostly visible under a jeweler’s loupe, there is some possible overall stabilization, the metal shows slight denting and bending along some beads and elements, with a patinated surface throughout, the pendant and six stone mounts appear securely fitted in settings and attached to the beaded necklace, overall no major loss or structural instability is observed, I am not an expert on such pieces, please let me know should you have further questions
