Condition Report
The ring is in fair condition commensurate with age and use with general marks and tarnishing and would benefit from a gentle polish. The opals are of fair quality and show a good play of colour. The diamonds are quite dull. All the claws are present in the setting and stones remain secure. The shank is worn and out of shape and will need some work. There is also visible marks where a re-sizing once took place which may have weakened the shank. Hallmark is a little rubbed but clear and legible.
