Sparkle Ring Appraisal

Lia Sophia Pave/Band Ring with Clear Faceted Stones

This is a yellow-toned metal band ring, likely a fashion or costume jewelry piece, featuring a continuous row of bezel-set, rectangular and possibly square, clear faceted stones. There appear to be five visible stones on the top half of the ring. The metal base has a brushed or slightly matte finish, and exhibits clear signs of wear, including scratches, discoloration, and a significant amount of patina, particularly in the recessed areas and on the interior surface, which suggests it is not solid gold or a high-karat gold alloy. The stones are clear, possibly glass or cubic zirconia, and reflect light, although their clarity and facet quality cannot be fully assessed from the image. The construction appears to be a solid band with individual bezels to hold each stone. The interior of the band is prominently stamped with 'lia sophia 11-', indicating the manufacturer and potentially a size or style number. The 'lia sophia' mark confirms its origin as a piece from the former direct-sales jewelry company, known for its fashion-forward, yet accessible, designs. The overall condition suggests regular wear, with noticeable surface abrasions on both the metal and the stones, and the metal showing some oxidation. Given the clear branding and material appearance, it is likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, consistent with the operating years of the 'lia sophia' brand.
