Condition
Condition appears very good to excellent from photos. The clip-back mechanisms appear intact and functional with comfort pads visible. Some expected age-related oxidation and patina on the silver-tone metal is present and consistent with the antiqued finish — this appears intentional to the design rather than damage. Minor gold-tone undertone peeking from edges of clip surround visible in close-up photos. No missing elements, broken links, or damaged faux pearls observed. All articulated components appear secure.
