Antique Ring - Questions

[Uncut_Pages]

This ring is listed for £16,995.00. It claims to be from the 1930s with the center stone being L/SI and 3.95ct. I asked about what looks like a chip (fissure?) at approximately 2 o'clock but they claim it's not a chip. I'm no expert but this stone doesn't look to be the colour, clarity or age it is claiming. Is the price expensive as well? It is platinum and a size 4. The diamonds on the side are 0.80ct.

I can’t speak to the price being fair or not. I just wanted to point out that it also looks like there is another chip(?) at 8 o’clock.

It looks dirty! Looking at that would not ‘spark joy,’ and that is how I evaluate potential purchases.

This is not worth the price. If that’s the best photo they have of it, it shows an included stone. It looks like there’s a surface reaching inclusion/fissure at the edge of the table, too. It looks like an L color to me. The cut looks nice but I’m wondering if this is a newly cut stone, based on the terrible quality of the material. The cut style is from a hundred years before the setting. I would pass even though the cut looks fine on its own, the terrible clarity of the material does not warrant the price.

There's a surface reaching feather/fissure AND a chip at the edge. Absolutely overpriced

I thought there might be a chip there as well.

Yeah that’s a giant fissure at 2 o’clock. Something that notice should come with a lab report or at the least an incredibly detailed appraisal from a highly trusted source. The only reason not to include those is to bamboozle a client.
