Condition

Grade A includes fine rubbing, small scratches and slight distortion of the pin. The earlier claim of no conspicuous marks did not convey that fastening issue. Do not force the pin straight or use it on delicate cloth before specialist inspection. Current catch security, stone settings and the full extent of the pin distortion remain untested; the dimensions and mass are historical. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Have the gold, stones and fastening examined together by a qualified jeweller before wear. Keep the openwork supported in a separate soft compartment, away from other jewellery that can catch on its edges. Avoid abrasive polish and household chemicals.
