<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 309620, member: 5833&quot;]Cleaned up it looks even more this way.&nbsp; I was also struck by how much newer than the shank the bezel looks.&nbsp; Kind of looks to me as though the upper part has been - best word I can think of - reframed, as though there is an old, slender inner bezel surrounding the stone, which is indeed much more battered than original pix conveyed, that has been contained in a newer box &amp; the old shank attached to that.&nbsp; What is now the underside of the stone looks in worse shape than what is now the top.&nbsp; Is it possible the upper part of the ring was rebuilt &amp; the stone flipped over? Or is some of what looks like roughness actually glue residue?&nbsp; This is your pre-cleaning photo cropped &amp; doctored a little:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]102275[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
