Oval Dark Gemstone Ring with Red Accents

The item is a gold-toned ring featuring a prominent, centrally set oval-shaped dark gemstone, likely a garnet or onyx, exhibiting a deep, rich hue that appears almost black in some lighting but a very dark red or purple in others. This central stone is bezel-set or held by sturdy prongs that are difficult to discern precisely due to the image's resolution and angle. Surrounding the main stone, there are several smaller, circular-cut gemstones, possibly garnets or rubies, which display a brighter, more distinct red color. These smaller stones appear symmetrically placed around the larger gem, adding to the ring's overall aesthetic appeal. The metal band is clearly visible, made of a polished yellow gold or gold-plated material, and features decorative accents or filigree work on the shoulders, though the intricate details are somewhat obscured. The ring appears to be a statement piece, designed to draw attention to the central gem. It shows some signs of wear consistent with age, such as potential minor scratches on the metal or the facet edges of the stones, but no significant damage or repairs are immediately evident. The craftsmanship appears to be of reasonable quality, suggesting it could be a vintage or antique piece from the late 19th or early to mid-20th century, given its classic design. The overall condition is good, with a visible luster on both the metal and the gemstones. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible from the provided image.
