<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3733701, member: 18716"]Also agree it doesn't look Georgian, perhaps more likely late 19th century. The lines in the band may be from it being reshaped after being badly deformed. The stone is almost certainly an agate, you engrave through the top colour with your design and it can be used as a small seal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was it an online auction ie ebay etc, or a bricks & mortar auction house? It is probably different elsewhere, but in the UK auctions aren't subject to usual retail rules so they don't have to accept returns. I'd be interested to know if it is different elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
