Gold-Tone Opal and Rhinestone Cluster Ring

This is a yellow gold-tone fashion or costume ring featuring an ornate cluster head design. The central aesthetic consists of five marquise-shaped cabochons, likely synthetic opal or glass 'milk' stones, arranged in a fanned or starburst pattern. Adjacent to these white stones are three round-cut clear accents, which appear to be glass or cubic zirconia rhinestones, set in individual prongs. The band or shank exhibits a split-shoulder or 'bypass' style, which creates a more substantial presence on the finger. The metal displays a bright, high-polish yellow gold finish, though some minor surface scratches and slight dulling are visible, consistent with moderate wear. The construction suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century mass-manufactured fashion piece, likely from the 1970s or 1980s based on the 'cocktail' style and marquise stone configuration. While no hallmark is clearly visible in the image, the overall craftsmanship and setting style are typical of commercial costume jewelry brands of that era. The stones appear to be securely set, and the finish remains largely intact without significant plating loss or 'greening' often associated with base metals.
