Triple Shank Ring Appraisal

Lab-Created Emerald and White Topaz Triple-Shank Cocktail Ring

This contemporary cocktail ring features a prominent oval-cut green gemstone, identified as a lab-created emerald, measuring approximately 8x6mm. The central stone exhibits a deep, saturated forest green hue with high internal clarity and facet reflection, typical of lab-grown specimens. It is secured by a four-prong setting and framed by a modified starburst halo of round brilliant white topaz accents. The ring's most distinctive feature is its triple-row openwork shank (or split-band design), where three parallel bands of white gold or silver-toned metal are encrusted with pavé-set white topaz stones, merging at the base of the finger. The metal appears to be a polished white alloy, likely rhodium-plated sterling silver or 10k-14k white gold. The craftsmanship follows a modern commercial fine jewelry style, showing clean casting with no visible signs of metal fatigue or significant wear to the prongs. The stones appear securely seated, though a microscopic examination would be required to confirm the presence of hallmark stamps or maker's marks on the inner band. The overall condition is excellent with no visible surface abrasions to the table of the lab-created emerald.
