White Gold and Sapphire Cocktail Ring

This exquisite piece is a cocktail ring, fashioned from what appears to be white gold, set with multiple sapphire gemstones. The central stone is a prominent, square-cut sapphire, exhibiting a rich, deep blue hue, characteristic of fine sapphire. It is secured by four prongs, allowing maximum light to enter and enhance its brilliance. Flanking the central stone on either side of the band are smaller, rectangular or baguette-cut sapphires, meticulously channel-set into the ring's shoulders, creating a cascading effect of blue. The band itself is crafted from white gold, which can be seen by its silvery-white luster. It features intricate openwork or filigree detailing on the sides, adding to its elegance and ornate aesthetic, and possibly reducing the overall weight. The craftsmanship suggests a design period that might lean towards vintage or modern vintage styles, possibly mid to late 20th century. While minor surface wear consistent with age and use may be present, it does not significantly detract from the overall appeal. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image, but the overall design and gemstone quality indicate a well-crafted piece of jewelry designed for formal occasions or as a statement ring. The use of multiple sapphires and the white gold setting denote a degree of inherent value and quality.
