• Condition: Very good vintage condition, with later conversion to secure post fittings. Under certain lights there is a fine line down the centre of one "donut"; it appears to be an internal inclusion, the surface is completely flush and smooth.

• Hallmarks: The backs are stamped 14K and bear a Chinese maker’s stamp. The butterflies are marked 9CT.
• Era: Estimated 1920s-1950.

I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing - and do ask if you have any questions!
