Condition Report
Overall fair condition, with light surface scratches and minor nicks in keeping with general wear and the age of the piece. The ring is quite tarnished and would benefit from a clean. There is a solder join easily visible to the back of the ring. One of the garnets has a large chip across a crown facet, another has a small chip to the girdle and another has a surface reaching inclusion. The garnets are fairly well matched. The split pearls are not very well matched, they vary in hue, most show blisters and pitting. Ring size L.
