Condition Report
Overall fair to good condition, the ring would benefit from a clean, with minor surface scratches and nicks to the shank in keeping with the age of the piece, also a small area of pitting. The rubies all show abrasion to the facet edges, there are some small nicks to a few of the facet edges, and nibbles to the girdles. The rubies are not very well matched, angular colour zoning can be seen to the central ruby, and inclusions are visible to all. The diamonds are fairly dull but these would no doubt brighten after a clean. Ring size M.
