Sterling Silver Diamond Ring Appraisal

Sterling Silver/White Gold and Cubic Zirconia/Diamond Cluster Ring

This is a Sterling Silver or White Gold and Cubic Zirconia/Diamond Cluster Ring, designed for finger wear. The ring features a prominent oval-shaped central cluster of stones, surrounded by a halo of smaller, bead-set stones. On either side of the main oval, there are smaller, rounded clusters of stones, also outlined with bead-set accents, giving the ring a substantial and ornate appearance. The central oval cluster appears to be composed of multiple round-cut stones set closely together to create the illusion of a larger, single stone or a highly intricate pavé setting. While difficult to ascertain definitively from the image, the stones exhibit significant brilliance and fire, consistent with either high-quality cubic zirconia or diamonds. The metal appears to be a silvery-white color, likely sterling silver or white gold, given the overall aesthetic. There is visible dark oxidation or antiquing in the crevices and around the base of the settings, particularly in the beaded edges and between the stones, which enhances the detail and gives the piece a vintage or aged look. This dark patina suggests either intentional oxidation as part of the design or natural tarnishing if the metal is sterling silver. The craftsmanship appears to be good, with all stones securely set and the metalwork showing intricate detail. There are no obvious signs of missing stones or significant damage. Some minor surface wear or scratching typical of a worn piece of jewelry might be present but is not clearly discernible in the image. The style suggests a contemporary vintage-inspired design or possibly a piece from the mid-to-late 20th century. The ring is quite large and statement-making, possibly a cocktail ring or an engagement ring alternative.
