Condition: due to their relative softness as a gem, the emeralds have taken on age-related surface wear: there are abrasions to the facet junctions; some nibbles and scratches to the tables; one emerald has a flat 1.4 mm chip to the corner. Some light surface wear to the gold; oxidation tarnish to the silver. Otherwise this cross is in excellent condition. All stones appear to be original. Bail is original.
