Vintage Three-Row Garnet or Red Paste Tiered Ring

This is a yellow gold-toned cocktail ring featuring a tiered, three-row decorative gallery. The ring is set with approximately 15 small, round-cut stones that exhibit a deep reddish-brown hue, characteristic of pyrope garnets or vintage red glass paste. The construction consists of a wide band tapering slightly toward the back, with the stones secured in individual raised bezel or prong settings arranged in a staggered, cascading 'honeycomb' or tiered cluster formation. Based on the yellowish metal and the style of the settings, the ring appears to be mid-20th-century costume jewelry or low-karat gold. The band shows signs of minor surface scratching and slight dulling of the finish, consistent with light wear. There are no immediately visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the outer shank, though such stamps may be located on the interior. The craftsmanship is functional with a focus on height and brilliance, typical of mid-century evening wear accessories designed to mimic fine jewelry (bijouterie). The overall condition is good with stones appearing securely seated, though the patina suggests it has been stored without recent polishing.
