Gold and Emerald Cocktail Ring

This item is a gold ring set with a single emerald gemstone, likely intended as a cocktail or statement ring. The ring features a pronounced, somewhat textured or nugget-like gold setting that cradles the emerald. The gold appears to be yellow gold, exhibiting a warm, rich tone. The surface of the gold on the main body of the ring, particularly around the bezel holding the emerald, displays an irregular, granular, or possibly hammered finish, which adds to its unique character. The emerald itself is oval-shaped and presents a vibrant green color, though its clarity and specific hue cannot be fully assessed from the image. It is centrally mounted and set in a bezel-like fashion, secured by the surrounding gold. The overall construction suggests a robust and perhaps artisan-crafted piece. There are no clear visible manufacturer's marks or signatures, though they might be present on the interior of the band. The style suggests it could be from the mid to late 20th century, possibly 1960s to 1980s, given the textured gold trend of that era. The visible condition appears good, with no obvious signs of major damage or missing stones. Surface wear, such as minor scratches or dulling of the gold, might be present but is not distinctly visible. The craftsmanship appears solid, emphasizing the gold and the central stone's presence.
