Condition: Overall in good antique condition without missing elements. The knifed shank is original; this ring has not been modified or converted. There is a 2.6 mm scratch to the interior side of the quartz crystal (possibly a production flaw), the outer surface of the domed crystal has some light surface wear and fine scratches (difficult to spot with naked eye). One of the small green enamel accents to the halo has had restoration touch up; it is very well done and seamless. The hairwork miniature has been cleaned with a fine sable brush. Loose wheat heads were re-attached.
