A yellow gold ring featuring a traditional three-stone cluster design. The centrepiece is an oval-cut red gemstone, likely a ruby, flanked by two smaller round-cut red gemstones. Each side stone is encircled by a ‘halo’ cluster of small clear accent stones, likely diamonds, set within a raised gallery. The ring is finished with a plain, tapering shank and weighs 3.67g. Although the piece is unmarked, the metal and construction are consistent with 9 to 14 carat gold from the late 20th century. The estimate is anchored by the intrinsic value of the metal weight and assumes the gemstones are commercial-quality rubies and diamonds. The lack of hallmarking is reflected in the valuation, positioned slightly below similar hallmarked examples.
Condition report:
The ring is in good used condition. The yellow gold shank exhibits light surface scratches and minor abrasions consistent with regular wear. All gemstones appear to be original, secure in their settings, and free from significant chips or cracks when viewed under 10x magnification. No evidence of previous resizing or repair is visible. Internal surfaces of the shank were inspected and confirmed to be unmarked.
