Condition:
The bracelet itself is in excellent condition, very little tarnish and the clasp is in working order. Each charm has a touch of wear, but all would be considered very good to excellent condition, as well. The Aries charm shows very little wear on its glass surface. The graduate cap has abit of light scratching and tarnish, as well as the Hope Faith and Charity charm and mug. The disc shaped charm shows the most scratching and tarnish. None of the charms or bracelet have beeen polished, intentionally, as to leave the decision to do so up to the buyer. I will gladly polish this piece, upon request, for no extra fee, after purchase.
