Evil Eye Ring Appraisal

Evil Eye Pave Ring

This is a contemporary 'Evil Eye' motif ring, likely crafted from a dark-toned metal, possibly oxidized sterling silver, black rhodium-plated silver, or a similar alloy given its dark, almost gunmetal appearance. The ring features a distinct almond-shaped bezel setting forming the 'eye' design, which is fully covered in pave-set gemstones. The center of the 'eye' is delineated by darker, possibly black or dark blue, round brilliant cut stones, forming the pupil. Surrounding this central darker stone, there is a circular arrangement of lighter, likely white or colorless, round brilliant cut stones. The outer perimeter of the 'eye' is then paved with darker stones, mirroring the color of the pupil, creating a clear contrast and enhancing the eye-like effect. The pave settings appear consistent, indicating a degree of craftsmanship. There are no visible large chips or cracks in the stones, though some minor surface wear might be present on the metal, consistent with regular use. The band is relatively slender and appears solid, with no visible intricate carvings or additional ornamentation. The overall style suggests a modern design, popular in the fashion jewelry market, and likely dates from the 21st century. The quality of the pave setting and the differentiation of stone colors contribute to the aesthetic appeal.
