Daisy Cluster Engagement Ring Appraisal

Daisy Cluster Engagement Ring

This item is a ring, appearing to be a daisy cluster engagement or cocktail ring, held between two fingers. The predominant feature is a large, round brilliant-cut central stone, likely a diamond or a high-quality diamanté, which is surrounded by a halo of smaller, round brilliant-cut stones set in what resembles a floral or daisy pattern. The setting for the cluster of stones appears to be white gold or platinum, given its silvery-white luster. The band or shank of the ring, visible beneath the cluster, is a contrasting yellow or rose gold, suggesting a two-tone design. The craftsmanship of the setting for the smaller stones seems to involve individual prongs holding each stone, contributing to maximum light reflection. The central stone exhibits significant brilliance and sparkle. The overall quality appears good, with no immediately visible signs of damage, missing stones, or significant wear beyond what might be expected from normal use. The style suggests a classic to vintage aesthetic, potentially from the mid-20th century onwards, often chosen for engagement rings due to its substantial and eye-catching appearance. The specific size of the stones cannot be determined without a scale, but the central stone appears to be at least 1-1.5 carats in equivalent diameter. The contrast between the white metal setting and the warm-toned band adds visual interest and depth to the design.
