Sterling Silver Synthetic Opal and Cubic Zirconia Half-Eternity Band

This is a contemporary sterling silver half-eternity style band featuring a rhythmic alternating sequence of gemstones. The ring is set with four round cabochon lab-created opals and three round brilliant-cut colorless stones, likely cubic zirconia. The opals exhibit a milky white base with a vibrant play-of-color, displaying flecks of green, blue, and pink. The faceted accent stones provide a high-contrast sparkle. Each stone is secured in a common-prong or 'U' shaped cradle setting, which allows for maximum light entry from the sides. The band is constructed from white metal, confirmed by a clear '925' hallmark on the inner shank, signifying it is 0.925 sterling silver. Adjacent to the purity mark is a maker's mark consisting of the initials 'P&M'. The shank transitions from the ornate stone-set gallery into a smooth, high-polish rounded band. Visible condition appears good with minor surface abrasions consistent with light wear. The craftsmanship shows mass-market production quality with clean casting and uniform stone alignment. This piece is a modern accessory, likely manufactured within the last 10 to 15 years.
