what the heck is that

The shoulders of the ring are a little messy/worn/slightly squashed when scrutinised but you could wear it for ten years and not notice

A best of its type piece and undoubtedly carved by someone of renown

would look quite different if dipped and polished (not recommended)

Not noticeable
