The main stone is especially unique. beautifully faceted t is quite high with no flat table surface on it. Very difficult to show in the photos, please ask if you want to see close up pics of it and I will do my best to get more detailed photos of it
Very good - excellent antique condition with only a few faint scratches on the large center stone. Nothing serious, does not detract from its beauty and only noticeable when looking very closely.
