<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 290225, member: 5833"]Can't help with the mark, but see no reason to think the intaglio is not original to the ring. Even if the residue on the back is glue, probably just means the stone came out & had to be secured again. Looks more like accumulated grunge. Have you tried cleaning it yet? All those fine scratches suggest the stone has been knocking around for a long while. Someone wore the ring regularly, not just special occasions. It's really in pretty good condition. Ring stones take a beating and often get chipped. It's rare to see a ring with a hardstone cameo that still has the tip of the figure's nose.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you like it, it fits you, & you paid melt down value - a good deal![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
