14K Gold Oval Sapphire and Diamond Accent Ring

This item is an oval-cut sapphire ring set in what appears to be white gold. The central gemstone is a prominent oval-faceted sapphire, exhibiting a deep, rich indigo to violet-blue hue, characteristic of natural sapphire. It is secured by four prongs, two on each side of its length, which are simple, polished gold elements. Flanking the main stone on either side are two smaller, round or brilliant-cut accent stones, likely diamonds given their typical pairing with sapphires in fine jewelry. These accent stones are also prong-set within the band. The band itself is relatively simple, tapering slightly as it moves away from the central setting but shows some sculptural elements near the shoulders where the accent stones are set. The metal shows a polished finish, though there may be some minor surface wear consistent with age and use, visible as faint scratches or dulling in certain areas. The overall construction suggests a medium-quality piece of fine jewelry. Imprinted on the inside surface of the band are the markings '14K' and an additional symbol or two letters, indicating the gold purity and possibly a maker's mark. The style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary design, prioritizing the elegance of the central gemstone. The visible condition appears good, with no obvious chips or cracks in the main sapphire, though a detailed inspection would be required to confirm this. The prongs appear secure. The craftsmanship is clean with well-set stones and a smooth finish.
