Cluster Engagement Ring Appraisal

Halo Cluster Diamond Ring

The item is a silver-toned ring, likely crafted from white gold, platinum, or sterling silver, given its lustrous metallic appearance. The central setting features a cluster of what appear to be small, round brilliant cut diamonds or diamond simulants, arranged to give the illusion of a larger, square or cushion-shaped diamond. This 'halo' style design is very popular in modern engagement or dress rings. Surrounding the central cluster, there is a prominent halo of additional smaller stones, enhancing the overall sparkle and visual size of the main setting. The ring's band is also adorned with small, pave-set stones along its shoulders, extending around the circumference to about halfway or three-quarters, a common feature in many contemporary designs to further amplify the brilliance. The internal diameter and ring size cannot be accurately determined from the image, but it appears to be a standard female finger size. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, missing stones, or heavy wear visible at this resolution. The metal exhibits a bright, polished finish. Without clear hallmarks or maker's marks, determining the precise metal composition (e.g., 10k, 14k, 18k white gold, platinum, or sterling silver) and exact carat weight of the stones is not possible. However, the sparkle suggests well-cut stones, and the setting appears robust, indicating decent craftsmanship typical of commercially produced fine or semi-fine jewellery from the late 20th or early 21st century.
