Oval Red Gemstone Ring with Diamond Accents

The item is a ladies' ring, likely an engagement or dress ring, featuring a prominent oval-cut dark red gemstone, most probably a garnet or ruby, set in a yellow metal band. The central gemstone is approximately an oval shape, measuring roughly 8-10mm in length, and is secured by what appears to be a four-prong setting. The stone exhibits a deep, rich red color, consistent with a cabochon cut or a highly polished faceted stone where light reflection is minimal in the image. On either side of the central stone, the gold band flares slightly and is embellished with small, round, colorless accent stones, likely diamonds or cubic zirconia, which add sparkle and enhance the main gem. There are two such accent stones on each shoulder of the ring. The band itself appears to be crafted from polished yellow gold, possibly 10K or 14K, given its color and the likely age. The overall design suggests a classic or vintage aesthetic, possibly from the mid to late 20th century. The ring appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the main stone or accent stones. The metal band shows a typical luster for polished gold and does not display any obvious signs of heavy wear, dents, or major scratches, though a detailed examination would reveal minor surface scuffs common with wear. The craftsmanship appears to be a standard jewelry setting, with the prongs securely holding the main stone. No maker's marks or hallmarks are discernible from the image.
