The silver mount has some waviness around the edge where it does not sit totally flush to the cover. Gilt interior. Springy cover.
All hinges appear strong and function well.
Covers on the whole fit well.
The polished hardstone boxes have natural internal flaws and have retained a good shine. The smaller agate box has a couple of chips on the edge of the cover.
