VERY GOOD. A gorgeous 18ct Gold double snake Diamond ring in very good condition! Complete with two lovely bright Diamonds, this ring has been crafted from luscious 18ct Gold, and has a full set of hallmarks allowing us to accurately date her. The Diamonds themselves are secure old min cuts, and please note that if you're after bright white Diamonds that are valued for their colour and clarity alone these aren't for you. The Diamonds have a lovely champagne tinge to them, with a wonderful sparkle that has lasted all of these years! The ring has been resized once before in the past, but this is only visible on the inside of the band and has not taken away from her splendour.
