Teal Cabochon Gold-Tone Cocktail Ring

The item is a large cocktail ring featuring a prominent cabochon-cut gemstone set in a wide, polished gold-tone band. The gemstone is an elongated oval or navette shape, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in length, with a significantly domed, smooth surface. Its color is a striking teal or deep aqua blue, exhibiting translucency with visible internal inclusions or striations that create a captivating depth and play of light. The stone appears to be either a large natural cabochon such as a tourmaline, aquamarine, or possibly a polished glass or synthetic stone designed to mimic these. The metal setting is a high-polish, bright yellow gold-tone, likely 14k or 18k gold, or a very well-plated base metal. The band is broad and tapers inwards, forming a substantial and elegant base for the large stone, suggesting a mid-20th century to contemporary design. The overall condition appears to be very good, with no overt scratches or chips visible on the stone or significant tarnishing on the metal. The smooth, rounded edges of both the stone and the setting indicate quality craftsmanship, emphasizing comfort and durability. The lack of visible prongs or bezel around the stone suggests it may be set through tension or an invisible setting, enhancing its clean, minimalist aesthetic. The ring is designed to make a statement, indicative of cocktail or statement jewelry.
