Prong Set Ring Appraisal

Three-Stone Prong-Set Ring with Pave Accents

This item is a ring, likely an engagement or statement ring, crafted from a silver-toned metal, possibly white gold, platinum, or sterling silver. The ring features a prominent three-stone design, with a larger, cushion-cut or square-cut center stone flanked by two smaller, similarly cut side stones. All three main stones appear to be colorless, transparent gemstones, likely diamonds or diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, exhibiting significant brilliance. The stones are secured in a four-prong setting, with visible prongs holding each stone in place. A notable feature is a single, circular opening or setting for a very small accent stone directly beneath the center stone's setting, which currently appears vacant or missing its stone. The band of the ring, particularly the shoulders leading up to the main setting, is adorned with numerous small, pave-set accent stones, adding to the ring's overall sparkle. These accent stones are also colorless and round brilliant cut, integrated seamlessly into the metalwork. The construction appears sturdy, with a solid, polished band. No specific maker's marks or hallmarks are visible in the provided image. Close inspection of the prongs suggests they are well-formed and securely hold the stones. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though a missing accent stone beneath the central setting is discernible. The metal has a bright, reflective finish consistent with well-maintained fine jewelry. The style suggests a modern or contemporary design, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, emphasizing brilliance and a substantial appearance.
