Wear Report:

Some stones have marks and abraisions.  Certain areas of the silver, such as the sides of the bezels, have a dark patina that cannot be removed by hand polishing with a cloth.  Chemical jewelry cleaner may possibly remove this, though we suggest going no further than hand polishing with a cloth to protect stones and preserve the piece\'s natural aged look.  See photos for more details.
