Purchasing information-
Overall fair to good condition, with moderate surface scratches. The central gem is a replacement. The top panel is possibly later added to the ring shank, although both pieces are believed to be of a similar age. There is minor abrasion to the green gems. There is adhesive slightly visible to the edges of two of the split pearls. Some of the split pearls may be replacements as they are a little small in their settings and slightly different colour hues.
