Purchasing information-
Overall good condition, with light surface scratches. The ear hooks and uppermost gem and setting are modern and are later added, this garnet is not as deep in colour as it is not in a foil back setting. Some gems show some very minor abrasion, some of the settings have been reinforced sympathetically but the settings would benefit from being checked.
