Vintage Star Sapphire and Diamond Halo Ring

This exquisite piece is a vintage ring featuring a central cabochon-cut star sapphire, likely an oval shape, set within a halo of smaller accent stones, possibly diamonds or a similar colorless gemstone. The primary stone exhibits a deep, rich blue color. While the star effect (asterism) characteristic of star sapphires is not clearly visible in these images, the provided context confirms its identity. The setting appears to be crafted from 14k white gold, as indicated by the context '14k white gold'. The halo design comprises multiple small, round, brilliant-cut stones individually set, creating a floral or scalloped edge around the sapphire. The metalwork surrounding the halo stones exhibits some intricate detailing, possibly milgrain or small bead-like settings, adding to its vintage appeal. The band is a relatively slender, polished white gold, curving gently to support the central setting. The overall construction suggests a delicate yet ornate design. No prominent wear, damage, or repairs are immediately discernible from the provided images, though a close inspection would be required to fully assess the condition of the setting and stones. The style of the halo and the presence of a cabochon star sapphire suggest an estimated age from the mid-20th century, consistent with a vintage aesthetic. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention to detail in the setting of the numerous small stones. The ring has a classic and timeless appeal.
