<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owliza, post: 7881631, member: 20298&quot;]Hi, I recently bought this ring online to use as a daily-wear piece. It was sold as a 14ct gold and black enamel ring, circa 1910. It arrived and I love it (it&#039;s not going back). Pretty and feels great. One thing - that&#039;s not black enamel. Oh, two things - the ad mentioned wear to the enamel in one section but it is downright smashed/cracked. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not too worried as I am careful with rings but I do want and intend to wear the ring often. My first plan was to just put a dot of clear nailpolish in the damage to shore it up a bit. Now I hestitate.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a loupe (need to get!) But when I look at the &quot;enamel&quot;&nbsp; with a crappy magnifying glass it looks more like something brown under glass. It certainly looks like broken glass more than cracked enamel at the break.&nbsp; It looks patterned and I am eorried it might be old hairwork.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think? I have seen rings online that look similar with hair in a channel. But no glass overlay. Did they ever do this? Should I just try a wee bit of nailpolish? Is there something I could use that&#039;s more chemically neutral? My first thought was that [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] might have some advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading and for any help!!!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]424588[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]424591[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
