The step-cut diamond weighing 8.49 carats, set between tapered stone shoulders, mounted in platinum,

Stamped Pt 950 for platinum. In our expert's opinion the diamond is of M-P colour and VS2 clarity. Fragile prongs and mounting of the baguette diamonds to the side, would benefit from a professional jeweller's check up before to be worn. Evidence of sizing in the past. Overall the ring needs attention but the principal diamond is in good condition.
