Men's Cushion-Cut Blue Sapphire Solitaire Ring

This is a men's signet-style solitaire ring featuring a prominent blue gemstone, likely a natural or synthetic sapphire, set in a substantial yellow gold or gold-toned metal band. The primary gemstone is a cushion-cut or rounded rectangular stone with a vibrant, deep royal blue hue and high transparency. It is secured using a flush or semi-bezel setting, where the metal of the ring surrounds the perimeter of the stone, providing a smooth profile and maximum protection for the gem. The band is a polished, thick shank that tapers slightly away from the head of the ring, a design characteristic of mid-20th-century masculines jewelry often referred to as a 'gentleman's ring.' The metal surface appears to have a high-polish finish with minor surface abrasions consistent with regular wear. No visible hallmarks or maker's marks are discernible from this angle, but the thickness of the shank suggest a sturdy construction and high craftsmanship. The overall style is classic and minimalist, suggesting a manufacturing date likely between the 1960s and the present day. The condition appears good with no significant chips to the gemstone visible at this resolution.
