Condition report:
The ring displays wear consistent with its age, including notable thinning to the rear of the yellow gold shank (photo 3) and fine surface scratches across the metalwork. The platinum-faced settings show minor softening to the milgrain detail. The vintage H. Samuel plastic box remains in functional condition with some light surface scuffing to the exterior (photo 1).
