Ring Enhancer Appraisal

Diamond Double-Wrap Ring Enhancer

This item is a diamond double-wrap ring enhancer, likely crafted from yellow gold, given its warm metallic hue. It is designed to surround a solitaire ring with additional decorative elements, creating a more substantial and elaborate appearance. The enhancer consists of two curved bands, one above and one below, which meet at the base to form a single shank. Each of these 'V' shaped bands is set with multiple small, round brilliant cut diamonds. On the top band, there appear to be five diamonds, and on the bottom band, there are also five, for a total of ten diamonds. The diamonds are individually set, possibly with bead or prong settings, within a slightly raised, ridged channel that follows the contour of the 'V' shape. The metal shows some signs of wear, including minor surface scratches and a slight dulling of the polish, which is consistent with regular use. There are no immediately visible major damages such as dents or significant loss of stones, though a closer inspection would be required to confirm the integrity of all settings. The construction appears sturdy, indicating good craftsmanship, with the bands uniformly shaped and the diamond placement symmetrical. The style suggests a modern to vintage-era piece, likely from the late 20th century, designed to complement engagement rings or other solitaire rings. The enhancer measures approximately 13.25mm across its widest point (as stated in the additional context, '13 1/4'). No distinct maker's marks or stamps are discernible from the image, but these would typically be found on the inner band.
