Condition: The age shows with only a minor pinch to the gold on the back that is barely detectable without strain to the eye. Excellent antique condition, thanks for a lower gold carat which has the advantage of being extremely sturdy, holding its shape and any precious stones more securely than higher carat weight, helping them to survive to today's times in incredible great condition. Although 9 carat gold is less expensive than the higher carats it has been used to create some truly wonderful pieces, including a great amount of fine antique and vintage jewelry.
