Therer are a few minor nibbles/chips to the crystal in the top right hand corner. There are a few very minor dings to the gold setting on one side. There are two minute holes (wear) to the gold on the reverse near to one of the loops. We believe that the interior has been cleaned at some point in time. The overall condition is otherwise good.
