Vintage Faux Ruby and Rhinestone Cocktail Ring in Presentation Box

This is a vintage statement cocktail ring featuring a prominent dome-shaped head. The central design is composed of tiered horizontal channels set with rectangular, baguette-cut clear rhinestones (simulating diamonds). These are flanked by clusters of vivid, round-cut pinkish-red synthetic stones or glass paste meant to resemble rubies. The metal is a polished silver-tone alloy, likely rhodium-plated brass or white metal, common in mid-20th-century costume jewelry. The construction involves a multi-tiered prong and channel setting that creates a three-dimensional, 'beehive' or 'bombé' silhouette. The ring appears to be from the Retro or Mid-Century period (circa 1950s-1960s), evidenced by the bold scale and use of baguette cuts. Notable features include the high-profile setting and the contrast between the geometric clear stones and the organic circular colored stones. Visible condition shows minor surface scratches on the metal and slight dulling of the clear stones, which is typical for vintage costume pieces. The ring is housed in a pale pink, rectangular plastic jewel box with a blue velvet-lined interior and a satin-lined lid, which may be original to the piece or a period-appropriate replacement.
