Tiger's Eye Cabochon Ring with Pave Set Shoulders

The item is a statement ring featuring a prominent square-shaped cabochon cut gemstone, likely Tiger's Eye, set in a metallic band. The central stone exhibits a warm golden-brown to dark brown coloration with distinct chatoyancy, displaying a characteristic silken luster or 'cat's eye' effect that shifts with light, indicative of high-quality Tiger's Eye. The stone appears well-polished with a smooth, domed surface, and is securely held by four prongs at each corner, crafted from a light-colored metal, possibly silver, white gold, or platinum, given its bright, reflective appearance. The ring's shoulders are adorned with what appear to be small, pave-set clear stones, possibly cubic zirconia or diamonds, which add sparkle and detail to the setting. These accent stones are set into a textured, possibly granulated, surface on the shoulders, leading into a simple, polished metal band. The construction suggests a contemporary or modern design period, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. No visible damage such as chips or cracks are apparent on the gemstone, and the metal shows no significant tarnish or wear from the visible portions, indicating good overall condition. The craftsmanship appears competent, with a clear focus on showcasing the central stone's unique optical properties. The size of the stone suggests it is intended to be a noticeable piece.
