Cushion Sapphire Ring Appraisal

Cushion-Cut Sapphire and Diamond Accent Ring

This item is a ring featuring a prominent, centrally set, cushion-cut gemstone of a deep, rich blue color, indicative of a sapphire. The sapphire appears to be approximately 8-10mm in width and length, with a considerable depth suggested by its vibrant hue. It is securely held by what appears to be four prongs. Flanking the central sapphire on both sides are decorative shoulders adorned with smaller, clear gemstones, likely diamonds or diamond simulants, arranged in an unknown pattern that adds sparkle and complexity to the ring's design. The band of the ring is crafted from a silver-toned metal, possibly white gold, platinum, or sterling silver, given its lustrous appearance. The overall design suggests a contemporary classic style, possibly dating from the late 20th century to the present. The metalwork exhibits intricate detailing on the shoulders, forming what might be described as floral or scroll-like motifs, each set with additional small accent stones. The ring appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible chips or large scratches on the central sapphire, though a detailed inspection for minor abrasions or wear on the facets would require higher resolution images. The metal shows a clean, polished finish, and no overt signs of damage, repairs, or significant patina are discernable from the provided image. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention paid to the setting of both the central and accent stones. The substantial size of the central stone and the surrounding sparkle contribute to a visually striking piece of jewelry.
