CONDITION
Excellent – This antique Georgian 18ct gold cabochon garnet & diamond ring is in superb condition. The garnet has hardly a mark to it and is in top form. The diamonds are free from abrasions or chips, omitting a wonderful shine. The gold and silver metalwork is also in great order and retains its original gleam. The ring head is late Georgian and was originally likely a hair piece, the ring shank has been added afterwards. This ring has obviously been cherished and well looked after throughout its life.
