Condition

EXCELLENT: This Georgian 9ct Gold Agate intaglio swivel fob pendant is in superb condition throughout. The portrait is very crisp, with no scratches or chips, and it's secure in its setting. A note to the wearer, at the bottom of the fob there is a tiny gap in the Gold, but this was when the Gold is joined together in the setting and is not wear or damage. The swivel mechanism also has fab tension, so you can twist and turn this piece to your heart's delight!
