14kt Yellow Gold Oval Tanzanite Solitaire Ring

This fine jewelry piece features a central oval-cut Tanzanite gemstone weighing approximately 0.75 carats. The gemstone exhibits a soft, lavender-blue hue with moderate translucency, typical of mid-grade Tanzanite. It is securely held in a four-prong setting atop a 14kt yellow gold band. The ring's design incorporates a distinctive split-shoulder or 'grooved' shank, where the metal tapers toward the focal point, creating a sense of movement and elegance. The construction appears to be cast, reflecting contemporary manufacturing techniques likely from the late 20th century to the early 2000s. While a specific maker's mark is not visible in the photograph, the provided context indicates a 14kt purity hallmark within the inner shank. The condition shows minor surface abrasions to the gold consistent with light wear, but no visible chips to the gemstone's crown or girdle. A commercial jeweler's tag is still attached, suggesting the item is either from a secondary retail environment or has been professionally inventoried. The craftsmanship is standard for commercial fine jewelry, offering a delicate balance between the cool tones of the oval stone and the warm finish of the yellow gold mounting.
