Ring with Red Stone and Accent Stones

The item is a ring featuring a prominent, circular, faceted red stone set in a prong setting. The central stone appears to be a ruby or a synthetic ruby, exhibiting a vibrant, transparent red color. Flanking the central stone on each side are smaller, clear, round stones, likely cubic zirconia or small diamonds, set in individual prong settings along the shoulders of the ring. There are three of these smaller stones on each side, totaling six accent stones. The band of the ring appears to be made of metal, possibly silver, plated metal, or base metal, with a dark, possibly oxidized or tarnished finish. The setting for the stones has a slightly raised basket design, allowing light to pass through the central stone. The construction appears to be cast. The ring shows some signs of wear, likely from regular use, including potential minor scratching or rubbing on the band. The prongs holding the stones appear to be intact. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or stamps in the image. The style is classic and reminiscent of engagement ring styles or cocktail rings, suggesting a possible age from the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality indicators based on the image alone point towards a fashion or costume jewelry piece, given the dark finish and potential for simulated gemstones.
