<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 309583, member: 5833"]The amount of grunge caught around the edges underneath the stone is certainly consistent with its having been in place a good long time, as are many fine scratches. Think you just got lucky that previous owner wasn't prone to banging his hands into things since the bezel does not protect it from chipping. I imagine it was designed with the idea that owner could have it engraved, but someone preferred it plain, leaving a blank canvas for you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
