<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 10320502, member: 5213"]Wore this ring the other day and I thought about how much better it would be if the garnet was polished to its original shine. It's so dull and boring as is and isn't fun to wear. I however am almost always against polishing antique jewelry as I like patina and character. In this case though I think it may be acceptable to polish the stone? I'd keep the gold the same maybe a light buff and clean... what do you all think?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]518689[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
