The ring is pre-owned but in good condition. The ring would make a great gift for yourself or for a significant other. The ring has light scratches from normal wear, but nothing that will affect the ring. In my honest opinion I would rate the ring on a cosmetic scale 1-10 an 8.5. This listing is for the James Avery Sterling Silver “Texas” Script Retired State Ring Size 9-1/4 only, no box, no pouch. Thanks, and good luck.
