Teardrop Iridescent Crystal Costume Ring

This item is a contemporary costume jewelry ring featuring a large, pear or teardrop-shaped faceted stone. The 'stone' is likely made of molded acrylic or glass, coated with an Aurora Borealis (AB) iridescent finish that reflects a spectrum of colors including blue, pink, yellow, and violet. It is oversized, suggesting it is a statement fashion piece rather than fine jewelry. The stone is mounted on a wide, silver-toned metal band with a flat profile, typical of base metals like brass or zinc alloy with a chrome or rhodium-colored plating. The construction appears to be glued or simply set, lacking traditional prong work. Regarding condition, there is a prominent chip or fracture visible on the pointed tip of the 'gemstone,' and the metal band shows surface scratches and fingerprints. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced novelty or fast-fashion accessories from the late 20th to early 21st century. No maker's marks or hallmarks are visible on the interior or exterior of the band, further indicating its status as decorative costume jewelry.
