Condition Report
Overall condition fair. There are scratches to the ring in keeping with overall wear. The garnets are not very well matched with some obvious replacements. There are significant chips to some and areas of surface abrasion. Several of the claws have broken off and would need to be secured. Several of the seed pearls are abraded and have sunk within the settings. The back band has split, the inner date letter to the hallmark has completely worn away and is not legible. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue and online for coloured gemstones.
