Sterling Silver Ring with Cabochon Gemstone

This is a sterling silver ring featuring a central, bezel-set cabochon gemstone. The gemstone appears to be a milky white or pale yellow hue, possibly an opal, moonstone, or a similar opaque to translucent stone, approximately 6-8mm in diameter, with a smooth, domed surface. It is held securely by four prominent prongs that extend from the surrounding bezel. The silver band of the ring is ornate, characterized by intricate scrollwork or filigree designs that extend along the shoulders of the band, tapering into a simpler, polished shank at the back. The metal exhibits a dark patina in the recessed areas of the scrollwork, which enhances the ornate detailing and suggests that the ring may be either vintage or part of a design that intentionally utilizes oxidation for aesthetic depth. There do not appear to be any obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage to the gemstone. The silver itself shows some minor surface wear consistent with age and use, but no major dents or breaks. The craftsmanship suggests a hand-finished piece, possibly artistic or artisan-made, rather than mass-produced. The style appears to be period-agnostic but leans towards a perhaps Art Nouveau or Vintage Revival aesthetic, emphasizing organic lines and delicate detail. The overall condition is good, indicative of a well-maintained piece of jewelry.
