Do Not assume that because the seller says a Moghul ring is antique that it really is. There is a big market right now for this type of jewelry, and not enough genuine antiques to go around. Most of the Moghul Eternity "Victorian" "Antique" sold on ebay are probably reproductions. This is not a bad thing. They look every bit as nice as the real thing would, but they are reproductions none the less. I would never pay anything over a few hundred dollars for an item that is a reproduction but priced as an antique. I know this because a Moghul eternity ring I just purchased was listed as an antique. I knew it was not, but didn't pay $1500 + for it either. I paid a fair price. My suspicion was confirmed when I actually received the ring and where there should have been true antiquing I saw some purple colored ink in its place. Not a big deal. However. when I went to clean the ring, the ink came off and I lost a stone. When I spoke to the seller, laxmi jewel, about this, the response I received was nothing short of ludicrous. "Did you get the ring wet?" was one of his questions. I replied that I had cleaned it. To which he said, well Polki diamonds very rarely fall out because of how they are set, but you should not get the ring wet, it can loosen up the stone. (Mind you this was not stated in the listing either). Then he explained that you cannot rub diamonds. Really. He accused me of using a toothbrush to clean it, untrue. You see Polki or odd shaped diamonds in these rings are set on top of foil to give them extra sparkle (this was common in victorian times and is very easily reproduced today). According to the seller water gets under there and loosens the stone. Again, had the stone been properly and securely set, it would not have fallen out. Ridiculous. This is a very nice ring but a poorly constructed reproduction. My recommendation is to ask many questions, in particular ask if the ring can get wet and see what the response is. If they tell you no...don't buy it. Are you willing to take your ring off every single time you wash you hands? And, do not believe everything you read. There are so many of the same style of ring for sale on ebay, being sold as genuine antiques. Did these sellers find a mother-load or treasure chest of identical "antique" rings to sell. I think not. And, if a seller has a genuine antique ask if he has certification papers to go along with it. If there is no certification do not believe it is an antique...it's probably a reproduction made in India. My last suggestion.....DO NOT PAY UPWARDS OF $1,000 for these rings. I wouldn't pay more $350.00. I am not slamming reproductions at all. I think reproductions are the best form of flattery, just don't tell me it's an antique when it isn't. Just be honest. AND, look at the pictures closely, I was fooled into thinking the ring I purchased was a well constructed reproduction but after closer inspection it was not at all. As I said earlier a poorly constructed reporduction. Buyer Beware.
