Platinum and Diamond Ring, JAR

Centering a rectangular cushion-cut diamond weighing approximately 4.45 carats, within a bezel-style mounting completed by two platinum bands, size 3, signed JAR, Paris.

In good condition with nicking and scratching to the mounting, commensurate with wear. The diamond is approximately G-H color, SI clarity due to a small crystal located under the table, seen with a 10x loupe. Fitted with inner sizing spheres; minor evidence of sizing to the shank, seen only under close inspection. With French assay and workshop marks to the shank exterior. The signature located at the top of the shank interior. Shank is thick, but could be sized by a skilled jeweler without affecting the signature; the workshop and assay marks would likely be affected.
