Three-Stone Diamond Engagement Ring in White Metal

This is a three-stone style ring, commonly referred to as a 'Past, Present, and Future' ring. The piece features a prominent central round brilliant-cut stone, flanked by two smaller round-cut stones. The setting appears to be a white metal, likely platinum, 14k white gold, or 18k white gold, given its high-luster silvery finish. The center stone is held by a four-prong setting, integrated into a polished band that tapers slightly toward the head of the ring. Based on the visual clarity and the way the light refracts into rainbow 'fire,' the stones are likely diamonds or high-quality cubic zirconia, though a physical hardness and thermal test would be required for confirmation. The construction exhibits modern jeweler techniques with clean prongs and a classic gallery design. There is no significant visible patina or metal oxidation, suggesting the item is relatively modern or has been well-maintained. While some microscopic surface scratches (faint ‘flea bites’) on the metal are expected with pre-owned jewelry, no major structural defects seperti bent prongs or chipped stones are visibly apparent in this view. The overall style is representative of late 20th-century to contemporary bridal jewelry aesthetics.
