Gold and Diamond Cluster Rings (Pair)

The image displays two distinct gold rings, both featuring diamonds, likely worn on fingers given their apparent size. The top ring is a wide, textured gold band with an organic or 'tree bark' like intricate pattern across its entire visible surface, giving it a tactile, multi-dimensional appearance. Set centrally on this textured band is a cluster of round brilliant cut diamonds, arranged closely together to form a focal point. The diamonds appear to be prong-set in what seems to be white gold or platinum to enhance their brilliance, contrasting with the yellow gold of the band. The construction suggests a solid, well-made piece. The bottom ring is a thick, polished yellow gold band with a more contemporary, geometric design. It features a prominent setting of approximately 10-12 round brilliant cut diamonds, arranged in two rows that create a substantial pave or cluster effect. The diamonds are also prong-set, likely in white gold or platinum, and exhibit good sparkle, suggesting decent clarity and cut. The gold band of this ring has a smooth, reflective surface on the sides leading up to the diamond setting, and possibly a brushed or patterned finish on the very front sections below the diamonds. Both rings show some signs of wear consistent with regular use, such as minor surface scratches on the gold, but no significant damage or missing stones are discernible. The style of the top ring leans towards a retro or brutalist aesthetic, possibly from the mid-20th century (1960s-1980s), while the bottom ring appears more modern, perhaps late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with secure settings for the diamonds. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image.
