| The overall condition of the vintage ring is excellent. Besides normal surface wear there is no apparent damage to the gold or settings, some of the sapphires have little nicks (mainly to the girdle and only seen under magnification), however all stones appear secure in their setting. The gold retains a lovely sheen. A wonderful vintage ring! |
