Rectangular Black Stone and Star Motif Ring

The item is a prominent ring, likely a signet or fraternal ring given its design. It features a rectangular face crafted from a dark, possibly black, material, which could be onyx, black enamel, or a similar opaque stone or glass. This rectangular face is set within a silver-toned metal, which appears to be white gold or sterling silver, exhibiting a relatively bright and polished surface with some minor surface wear visible under close inspection. The edges of the rectangular face are beveled or molded, adding depth to the design. Two primary motifs are set into the dark face: a golden star positioned towards the top, and a circular element (possibly a diamond or cubic zirconia) encased within a raised bezel setting near the bottom. The star possesses a relief quality, suggesting it may be carved or applied rather than merely painted. The metal band extends from the face with some decorative, possibly filigree or carved, detailing on the shoulders, although these details are somewhat obscured by the angle and focus of the image. The ring appears to be in good overall condition consistent with regular wear, showing a relatively clean surface and no obvious significant damage or repairs. The overall aesthetic suggests an early to mid-20th-century style, possibly dating from the Art Deco or Retro eras, given the geometric face and potential for fraternal or masonic symbolism.
