Two-Tier Floral Cluster Cocktail Ring with Missing Center Pearl

This is a vintage-style cocktail ring featuring a tiered floral cluster design. The ring is constructed of white metal, likely silver-toned, showcasing a prominent split-shoulder shank that leads to a complex circular basket head. The design consists of two concentric levels of circular settings intended for small side stones or seed pearls, though the currently visible luster appears dull, suggesting they may be coated glass or heavily worn pearls. Most critically, the central setting is vacant, showing four prominent prongs that originally secured a larger round pearl or gemstone. The absence of the focal stone is a major condition issue. The metalwork shows signs of significant wear, with a noticeable patina and accumulation of residue in the recessed areas of the prongs and mountings. The style is reminiscent of mid-20th-century costume or semi-fine jewelry. The craftsmanship is commercial grade, featuring cast metal construction rather than hand-forged elements. There are no visible maker's marks or metal fineness stamps on the exterior of the band. The overall condition is poor to fair due to the missing center element and surface oxidation.
