Gold-Tone Bypass Ring with Blue and White Stones

This is a yellow gold-toned fashion ring featuring a bypass or 'S-curve' shank design. At its center is a single oval-cut faceted blue stone, likely a synthetic spinel, blue glass, or cubic zirconia, held in place by a multi-prong setting. The central stone is accented by eight small, round-cut clear stones (brilliant cut) that follow the curve of the bypass, four on each side, housed in illusion-style or grain settings. The metal appears to be a gold-plated base metal rather than solid gold, evidenced by the slightly orange tint and texture of the casting. The shoulders of the ring exhibit a textured, almost sandblasted decorative finish within recessed grooves, while the rest of the band is high-polish. No maker's marks or hallmarks (such as 10k or 14k) are visible from the top view. The overall condition shows moderate signs of wear, including minor surface scratches on the metal and some dulling of the clear accent stones, which may indicate they are rhinestones or glass. The style is reminiscent of late 20th-century costume jewelry, roughly dating from the 1980s to the early 2000s. The craftsmanship is utilitarian, typical of mass-produced commercial fashion jewelry.
