Incomplete Silver or White Gold Solitaire Ring Mount

This is a white metal solitaire-style ring, likely composed of sterling silver or white gold, held between a person's thumb and index finger. The ring features a polished, tapered shank that widens significantly toward the head. The most notable characteristic is the center: a circular aperture intended for a gemstone, currently empty. The head exhibits a textured or faceted 'illusion' type border around the empty setting, designed to enhance the brilliance of a mounted stone. Overall, the piece displays a high-polish finish with minor surface abrasions consistent with light handling. There are no clearly visible hallmarks or maker's marks from this angle, though they would typically be found on the inner band. The construction appears to be cast and then hand-finished. Based on the style and setting design, it likely dates to the late 20th century or is a modern reproduction of a mid-century solitaire. It is a mounting or 'semi-mount' that requires a center stone to be complete.
