Coral 'flower' marks and striations indicative of coral, present in all pieces.
Brooch, The main design, buttons and tassel are all good with no damage, at the back there are another two hooks for further tassels present, there is one extra tassel available. Mount and pin all ok.
Earrings;- One earring is perfect, no damage, hook & mount all good. The other one looks like the pin was broken & lost, and has been replaced with I think the bail from the brooch which would have enabled it to be worn as a pendant. The coral bead is larger and the hook a bit unfriendly & sharp, would be easy enough to have anther ear wire made. Once again no damage to the body of the earring, or the drop, all need a gentle clean.
