Exceptional preservation for a piece approaching its centenary. The white gold surface remains bright and clean with only faint surface scratches visible under magnification. All twenty-four diamonds sit secure in their hand-cut channels. The interior band shows minimal wear, suggesting limited use despite being 85-100 years old. No repairs, resizing attempts, or stone replacements detected. The maker's mark remains clearly visible with only natural softening to the final character. The eagle head hallmark retains full depth and clarity. This level of preservation typically indicates a piece that was treasured but not often worn—perhaps saved for occasions that never came, or stored away through the war years and forgotten.
