CONDITION

Good condition, some signs of wear commensurate of age. The rose cut diamond will come up brighter with a nice clean, the top rose cut diamond does in particular hold a little extra dirt. No internal glass retained but internal removable wires so glass can easily be replaced if absolutely desired, though pictures can easily be kept otherwise. Some scratches inside for previous gold testing, small area on the reverse for testing. No significant dents
