Condition report:
The collection is in generally good condition, with a high proportion of items appearing unworn on original cards (photo 1). Some minor surface wear and dust from storage are present throughout. Oxidation and tarnishing are visible to some of the base metal components, most notably on the silver-tone hoop earrings contained within plastic bags (photo 4). The blue plastic storage box shows some light external scuffing (photo 2).
