Dragon Head Ring with Opal and Blue Gemstones Appraisal
Category: Jewelry
Description
A sculpted metal ring depicting a dragon's head, featuring a central oval cabochon opal displaying play-of-color, set prominently on the forehead. Two smaller blue cabochon stones are set as eyes. The metal appears to be silver or a silver-toned alloy with detailed texturing representing scales and horns.
Appraisal Report
The ring's value is estimated based on its apparent materials (silver-toned metal, likely sterling silver, a central opal, and blue accent stones, possibly lapis lazuli or sapphires) and its detailed craftsmanship. The central stone, appearing to be an opal, shows good play-of-color, significantly contributing to the value. The dragon head design is intricate and appeals to a specific market interested in fantasy or mythological themes. The valuation range accounts for potential variations in metal purity, the exact quality, size, and type (solid, doublet, triplet) of the opal, the nature of the blue accent stones (natural, synthetic, or imitation), and whether the piece is mass-produced, artisan-made, or custom. Similar styled rings with comparable materials often fall within this price range retail.
