Condition: Overall good antique condition for its age, with the following observed flaws:
– the two small 3×3 spinels at the far ends appear to be later replacement
– the beading to the shank is a bit worn down towards the back
– It’s possible that there are minor losses to the delicate cannetille filigree work. However, this is difficult to tell for sure, as the handcrafted design doesn’t follow a consistent pattern (for example, hard to tell if a gap here or there is intensional, or due to loss). Please view all photos carefully — this ring & its condition is exactly as it appears in the photos.
