About This Ring

This dazzling antique belcher set diamond ring is sure to take your breath away. Featuring an old European cut diamond and Imperial Russian Hallmarks on the back,  it's an exquisite addition to any collection.

Condition:

The ring is in good antique condition. The prongs are worn but in place and secure. The diamond has a couple tiny chips and bruises not easily seen. It also has a few dark inclusions hidden under the facets, you won’t be able to see these without magnification and appropriate lighting. There is one inclusion on the table, not easily seen without magnification. Even though the diamond has inclusions, the cutter did an excellent job making it look like a light droplet of water and a higher grade clarity. 

The metal color has aged to a rosy patina.
