Condition Notes: This antique brooch centers a scrolling motif set with rubies and rose-cut diamonds mounted atop a carved agate base. The outer frame is detailed with green glass cabochons and bordered by black lacquer accents between seed pearls mounted around the perimeter.
Under magnification, several rubies and diamonds exhibit minor surface blemishes, including small abrasions and nicks. Two diamonds are missing overall. Some losses are visible to the lacquer detailing, and a few pearls show traces of solder, with one area displaying minor fracturing, likely from original assembly.
The reverse features a polished agate backing framed in yellow gold with openwork decorative supports and a hinged pinstem and catch for wear.
