Oval-Cut Solitaire Stud Earring with Nested Wire Mounting

This item is a single stud earring featuring a prominent colorless, oval-cut stone, likely a cubic zirconia or a low-grade diamond given the visual internal reflections. The centerpiece stone is secured within a unique white metal mounting characterized by a triple-wire bypass design that wraps around the girdle of the stone. The metal appears to be silver-toned, possibly sterling silver or white gold-plated base metal, showing a bright, polished finish with slight surface oxidation near the crevices. The earring is constructed with a standard post for pierced ears. Notable for its contemporary, organic-inspired setting, the three-ring wire wrap serves both as a functional basket and a decorative element. Regarding condition, the metal shows minor micro-scratches consistent with use, and the stone remains securely seated, though the post appears slightly bent from the central axis. No visible maker's marks or hallmark stamps are discernible in the provided image. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed as a modern twist on the classic solitaire stud.
