Condition

Good preloved Antique condition with some signs of wear that are commensurate with age and use.  All stones appear original to the piece, and present in nice condition, showing no significant scratches, chips or notable damage. All stones are held secure in their settings.  Minor nacre loss to the little seed pearls is present, although they still present with a lovely rolling lustre.  Some fine marks, scratches and aged patina to the gold may be present.  Hallmarks are fairly worn/ only partially visible.  The shank does show signs of thinning, although this is likely due to a previous resize/ size increase, and the shank remains strong and round.
