A beautiful vintage 9ct gold smokey quartz ring, fully hallmarked for Sheffield 1978.

Please note: there is slight movement within the top bezel setting. This has been inspected by an independent jeweller, who confirmed that the quartz is secure and that the movement is due to the original construction of the setting rather than any damage or repair issue. The jeweller advised that this is likely how the ring has always been, owing to the style of the internal retaining claws/clasps.
