14K Gold Sapphire and Diamond Bypass Ring

This exquisite piece is a lady's ring, crafted from 14K gold, weighing 2.10 grams, and sized at 7.00. The dominant feature is a central pear cabochon-cut sapphire, measuring 8.00 x 5.00 mm and weighing approximately 2.00 carats. This primary stone exhibits a deep, dark blue hue, characteristic of sapphire. Visible inclusions within the primary stone include surface-reaching fractures and other surface-reaching inclusions, which are natural characteristics, potentially impacting clarity and value. The ring's design is distinctive, featuring a bypass or crossover style, where two bands meet or intertwine around the central stone. Each of these bands is adorned with multiple secondary sapphire stones, set in either pavé or channel settings, extending along the shoulders of the ring. These secondary stones contribute to the overall sparkle and luxurious appearance. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with secure settings for all stones. The gold exhibits a polished finish, indicating good maintenance, though age-appropriate wear is possible, but not overtly visible in the provided image. The presence of the '14K JTQ' hallmark confirms the gold purity and identifies the manufacturer (JTQ), providing manufacturing details for authentication. The style suggests a modern or contemporary period, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century, given the design and common use of similar stone cuts and settings during this era. The elegant design makes it suitable for personal adornment or as a statement piece.
