Ruby and Diamond Sterling Silver Accent Ring

This is a sterling silver ring featuring an oval-cut ruby as its central stone, flanked by an arrangement of smaller, clear accent stones, likely diamonds or cubic zirconia, set in a decorative, almost feather-like or foliate pattern. The central ruby exhibits a vibrant, deep red color and is set with four prongs, securely holding it within the setting. The accent stones appear round brilliant cut and are pave-set, creating a glittering halo effect extending outward from the central ruby along the shoulders of the band. The band itself is a polished silver tone, suggesting sterling silver, a common material for such designs. While no specific maker's marks or hallmarks are visible in the provided image, the '925' mark visible in the cropped image strongly indicates sterling silver (92.5% silver content). The ring appears to be in good overall condition, with no immediate visible signs of damage, missing stones, or significant wear. The craftsmanship seems detailed, particularly in the setting of the numerous small accent stones. This style of ring, featuring a prominent colored gemstone surrounded by sparkling accents, is a popular design often associated with contemporary fashion jewelry, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The arrangement of the accent stones gives it a somewhat organic or stylized botanical feel. The metal shows a bright, reflective finish, indicating good maintenance or a relatively new condition.
