Oval Cut Gemstone Ring with Rope Motif Band

This is a contemporary-style jewelry piece featuring a central oval-cut gemstone, which appears to be amethyst or a dark colored quartz, set in a four-prong mounting. The ring's band is characterized by a distinctive 'cable' or 'rope' textured motif, reminiscent of high-end designer styles such as David Yurman. Each shoulder of the ring is accented with small round-cut stones, likely diamonds or white topaz, nestled in a circular cluster transition between the center stone and the band. The metal appears to be sterling silver or white gold, evidenced by its bright, cool-toned luster. The construction shows solid craftsmanship with refined transitions between the textured shank and the polished setting. Regarding condition, the metal exhibits minor surface scuffing consistent with light wear, and the main gemstone shows no immediate signs of chips or major abrasions from this perspective, although some minor accumulation of dust or skin oils is visible behind the setting. While no maker's mark is visible in the photograph, the design elements suggest it is a modern production from the late 20th or early 21st century. The presentation in a black velvet-lined box indicates the item has been well-maintained as a gift or keepsake.
