Crossover Ring Appraisal

Pave-Set Diamond or Diamond Simulant Crossover Ring

This item is a crossover style ring, crafted from a silver-toned metal, likely white gold, sterling silver, or a base metal with a rhodium plating, given its bright, reflective surface. The ring features a central design composed of two bands that cross over each other, forming an 'X' or cross shape. The entire visible surface of this crossover element is adorned with numerous small, round, pave-set stones, which appear to be either diamonds or diamond simulants due to their brilliant sparkle and white color. The setting style ensures a continuous sparkly surface, maximizing light reflection. The shank (band) of the ring is relatively thin and unadorned, allowing the central pave-set design to be the focal point. While specific dimensions are not discernible from the image, it appears to be a standard size for a ladies' fashion ring. There are no clear visible manufacturer's marks, hallmarks, or signatures, which are typically found on the inside of the band; however, the image quality does not permit inspection of this area. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of missing stones, significant wear, or damage such as bending or scratches visible on the metal through the provided image. The sparkle of the stones suggests they are clean and well-maintained. This ring likely dates from the late 20th century to the present, a period when pave settings and crossover designs gained significant popularity for their modern yet elegant aesthetic. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced item, typically found in mainstream jewelry retail.
