Cushion Blue Topaz Appraisal

Cushion-Cut Aquamarine or Blue Topaz Solitaire Ring

This is a contemporary fine jewelry ring featuring a large, cushion-cut semi-precious gemstone, likely an aquamarine or a very light blue topaz, based on its pale, 'icy' blue-green tint and high clarity. The central stone is approximately 4 to 6 carats in size and is secured in a yellow gold setting. The mount is designed with an artistic, open-work split shank that transitions into elegant, swirling scrolls on the shoulders, which flank the gemstone. The stone is held by four distinct corner prongs. The metal appears to be at least 14k yellow gold, judging by its warm hue and polished finish. The craftsmanship reflects modern manufacturing techniques with a focus on fluid, organic lines characteristic of late 20th to early 21st-century aesthetic. Regarding condition, the metal shows light surface abrasions consistent with gentle wear, but the stone appears well-seated with no visible chips or fractures on the table. The internal clarity of the gemstone is excellent, showing no significant eye-visible inclusions. No specific maker's mark is visible from this angle, but the piece displays good commercial-grade quality.
