Condition report:
The rings appear to be in good used condition with all stones intact. There is visible staining, yellowing, and foxing to the silk and velvet linings of the vintage presentation boxes, notably the Plymouth retailer\'s box (photo 5). Minor surface dust and light wear to the metal finishes are visible across the collection (photo 1). The white foam padding in several cases shows slight yellowing consistent with age (photo 4).
