The condition of the vintage ring is very good. Besides general surface wear, the mount retains a bright rhodium surface luster. Stone settings appear safe, and stones are secure in their settings, additionally the undercarriage shows no signs of wear. Under magnification, it is visible that the sapphires have worn facets, and a few are chipped, albeit, secure in their settings |
