Modernist Hammered Sterling Silver Bezel-Set Solitaire Ring

This item is a modernist-style solitaire ring featuring a round brilliant-cut colorless gemstone, likely clear quartz, white zircon, or a low-grade diamond, set in a full bezel. The band is a thick, rounded D-shape profile crafted from what appears to be sterling silver based on the characteristic tarnishing and dark grey patina. The exterior of the band exhibits a consistent fine-pebble or hammered texture, providing a matte finish that contrasts with the reflective quality of the stone. The bezel is integrated into the band with a slight structural gap on either side, giving the illusion of a tension setting while maintaining the security of a wrap-around bezel. Regarding condition, the metal shows significant oxidation and surface wear including micro-scratches and dullness throughout the band, which indicates frequent use or long-term exposure to air. The central stone appears securely set but lacks high brilliance, possibly due to internal inclusions or surface grime. No maker's marks or hallmarks are visible in the present view, but the design suggests a contemporary or late 20th-century artisan manufacture. The overall craftsmanship is sturdy, focusing on a minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes geometric weight and tactile surface detail.
