Condition
Please note that the ring is set with a mabé pearl, not a cultured pearl. The pearl is a creamy peachy-mocha color with overtones of pink and pale lavender, with good luster and moderate blemishing, mainly wrinkled skin. Some cracking and crazing to the pearl, but it appears to be stable. The diamonds are approximately H-I color and VS-SI clarity. Sturdy and well-made, with scratching to the metal, indicative of every day wear. Fitted with an inner sizing band. Signed Monture Boucheron on inside of shank underneath gallery.
