14K Yellow Gold Scalloped Ring with Opal and Amethyst/Iolite

This is a 14-karat yellow gold ring featuring a distinctive scalloped or bypass-wave design across the top of the band. The ring is set with three marquise-cut gemstones: a milky white opal with visible play-of-color, a central purple-hued stone identified as amethyst or lolite, and a third stone that appears to be another opal or possibly a pale moonstone. Each gemstone is secured by a four-prong setting nestled within the polished gold diagonal ribbons. The band is a size 8.75 and features a wide, flat underside that tapers slightly toward the decorative front. The interior of the shank is stamped with '14K', confirming the gold purity. The overall construction suggests a late 20th-century aesthetic, likely from the 1980s or 1990s. The metal shows a high-polished finish with minor surface abrasions and light scratches consistent with regular wear. The opal displays a soft luster, while the faceted purple gemstone provides a sharp color contrast. The craftsmanship is of retail-commercial quality, with a sturdy cast and hand-set stones designed for durability and daily use. No significant cracks or chips are visible on the gemstones in the provided image.
