Yellow Gold Solitaire Ring

This item is a dainty solitaire-style ring featuring a high-set central gemstone arrangement. The shank is crafted from yellow gold with a high-polished finish and appears to be approximately 1.5mm to 2mm in width, suggesting a delicate construction. The central feature is a white gemstone, potentially a diamond, moissanite, or cubic zirconia, held within a multi-pronged setting. The setting has a distinct floral or starburst 'illusion' shape, a design common in the mid-20th century to make smaller stones appear larger. Based on the warm tone of the metal and the setting style, this ring likely dates from the late Retro to early Mid-Century modern period (circa 1940s-1960s). Regarding its condition, the band shows slight signs of wear consistent with age, including minor surface abrasions. The metal appears to have a consistent patina, though further inspection of interior hallmarks would be required to verify gold purity (e.g., 10k, 14k, or 18k). The gemstone appears somewhat clouded in the photograph, which could be due to surface oils, dust buildup under the setting, or the inherent quality of the stone. No major structural deformations or missing prongs are immediately visible from this perspective.
