Gold-Tone Simulated Emerald and Rhinestone Halo Cocktail Ring

This is a bold cocktail/fashion ring featuring a gold-toned metal finish with synthetic or simulated gemstones. The centerpiece is a large, oval-cut synthetic emerald secured in a traditional four-prong setting. This central stone is surrounded by a halo of small, clear pave-set rhinestones or cubic zirconias. The shank of the ring is wide and ornate, featuring a channel-set row of square-cut green stones that mimic the appearance of emeralds, flanked on both the top and bottom edges by additional rows of clear pave-set stones. Physically, the ring appears to have a substantial weight with a high-profile cathedral-style setting. The metal shows significant signs of wear and age; the gold-tone plating is rubbing off in several areas, particularly along the inner band and the edges of the setting, revealing a duller base metal underneath (suggestive of brass or a similar alloy). The clear stones show a loss of brilliance, likely due to surface scratches or accumulated grime. There are no visible maker's marks or metal fineness stamps (like 14k or 925) in this view, which, combined with the visible plating wear, strongly indicates this is costume jewelry rather than high fine jewelry. The style is reminiscent of late 20th-century 'glamour' costume pieces designed to mimic high-end estate jewelry.
