Condition Report
Overall condition fair. There are scratches to the ring in keeping with overall wear, there is distinct wear to the scrolling gallery where the ring has been worn alongside another ring and the engraved patterning has worn away. Two of the emeralds are rectangular shape and one is oval. One of the outer rectangular-shape emeralds appears to be a replacement. They are well matched, inclusions are visible to the outer emerald with the unaided eye. There is abrasion to the facet edges of all emeralds, specifically the central emerald where all facets have worn away and significant abrasion to one of the outer emeralds. The diamonds are bright, there is a small surface reaching fracture to one and abrasion to the girdle of another. The settings are heavily worn and would need to be secured. Unhallmarked. Ring size M. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones.
