Air lines / gaps getting worse in VA?

Is anyone else concerned with that clasp (the lapis eBay listing)?

The clasp is normal. This is a vintage item, I am even struggling to estimate how old it may be. Maybe even 70-80ies?..
What's horrible is this:

I am even starting to think that motifs were cut and attached by a third party. The golden parts look okay to me but stones are all over the place.
