This ring has a opening back shank. What that means is that the ring is designed to open at the back and fold out to open the ring up to put it on. The new owner may prefer that the ring shank more standard however this is original to the ring and is a part of the history of the ring so we have left it as is. If the ring is to be a gift, It is our recommendation that you leave the ring as is until you give the ring to your special gal for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the ring size is adjustable so it is more likely to fit her "out of the box" since almost all antique or vintage rings will need to be re-sized for the new owner. Secondly, replacing the band may not be something the new owner would like to do and leaving it as is will give her the opportunity to decide for herself.
If you were to replace the shank of the ring the cost would be approx $100 - $200 however. Additionally, in which case the replacing of this folding mechanism would be par for the course in the re-sizing job.
The ring is in a very good condition.
