Tahitian Black Pearl and Diamond Cocktail Ring

This is a sophisticated Tahitian black pearl cocktail ring, featured in a vintage-style presentation box. The centerpiece is a large, spherical Tahitian pearl, approximately 10-12mm in diameter, exhibiting a deep charcoal-grey to black body color with desirable peacock-green and silver overtones. The pearl is nestled within an ornate, wide-shouldered band crafted from what appears to be yellow gold, though the setting face is accented with white metal (likely white gold or platinum) to enhance the brilliance of the stones. The setting features intricate filigree and scrollwork, pavé-set with numerous small round brilliant-cut diamonds that provide significant sparkle. The metalwork includes millgrain edging, suggesting a Neo-Victorian or Edwardian revival style. While the user mentions '24k china,' a 24k gold purity is highly unusual for such a complex setting due to the softness of pure gold; it is more likely 14k or 18k gold made in China. The condition appears excellent with no visible nicks to the pearl's nacre or missing stones, though light surface scratches on the shank are expected from gentle wear. The craftsmanship shows high attention to detail in the prong work and symmetry of the decorative gallery.
