Emerald And Sapphire Ring Appraisal

14K Yellow Gold Emerald and Sapphire Band Ring

This item is a delicate band-style ring crafted from 14K yellow gold, as indicated by the provided context. The ring features a linear arrangement of small, round-cut gemstones: six apparent emeralds, characterized by their deep green hue, and one sapphire, distinguishable by its distinct blue color, positioned at one end of the row. Each gemstone appears to be individually set with small prongs, securing them uniformly along the upper half of the ring's band. The gold band itself is slender and polished, exhibiting a warm yellow metallic luster. Based on the visible characteristics, the setting style suggests a modern or contemporary design, likely from the late 20th century onwards. The overall condition appears good with no overt signs of significant damage or repairs from the provided image, though minor surface wear consistent with age and use (e.g., slight scratches on the gold or minor facet abrasion on the gemstones) cannot be entirely ruled out without closer inspection. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard jewelry quality for a mass-produced or semi-custom piece, with consistent stone setting and a well-formed band. The contrasting blue sapphire among the emeralds is a notable unique feature, potentially indicating a birthstone combination, an intentional design element, or possibly a repair where a replacement stone of a different type was used. All stones are uniform in size and round in shape, contributing to a cohesive aesthetic.
