Pearl Engagement Ring Appraisal

Bypass Pearl Ring

This item is a bypass style ring, crafted from what appears to be yellow gold, judging by its warm, metallic luster. The ring features a sleek, minimalist design with a smooth, polished band that bypasses itself at the top, creating an elegant open-ended aesthetic. Adorning the two ends of the bypass are two spherical pearls, each with a soft, iridescent sheen and a very subtle pinkish or cream overtone. The pearls appear to be of similar size, suggesting a balanced design. The setting for the pearls seems to be a simple peg or cup setting, integrated directly into the gold band, which enhances their natural beauty without elaborate bezels or prongs. The craftsmanship visible in the band suggests a well-finished piece, with no visible solder marks or rough edges. There are no discernible maker's marks or hallmarks visible in the provided image. The overall condition appears to be good, with a consistent shine on the metal and no obvious chips or significant abrasions on the pearls. The simplicity of the design, along with the use of pearls, suggests a classic or possibly vintage aesthetic, potentially from the mid-20th century onwards. The quality of the pearls, specifically their smoothness and luster, indicates a moderate to good quality piece of jewelry. The design is timeless, allowing it to be worn casually or for more formal occasions. The gold shows minor signs of wear consistent with use, but no major damage or repairs are evident.
