Bypass Ring with Sapphire and Colorless Stone Clusters

The item is a silver-toned ring featuring a bypass or crossover shank design. The ring's head is adorned with two distinct, roughly circular clusters of gemstones, positioned diagonally across the finger. Each cluster consists of multiple small, dark blue gemstones, likely sapphires or dark spinels, surrounding a single lighter, possibly colorless, central stone. The central stones appear to be either small diamonds or white zircons, set to create a floral or starburst effect within each cluster. The settings for the smaller dark stones are claw or bead set, holding each individual stone securely. The metal appears to be sterling silver or white gold, exhibiting a slight tarnishing or patina consistent with age and wear, particularly visible along the curves of the shank and in the recesses of the settings. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced or semi-handcrafted piece, likely from the mid-to-late 20th century. There are no immediately obvious significant condition issues like large chips or missing stones, though close inspection would be required to confirm the integrity of all settings and the surfaces of the stones. The overall appearance is a classic, somewhat elegant design, suitable for everyday wear or as a fashion accessory.
