Vintage mid-century modern cocktail ring with a large oval brown-gray gemstone in yellow gold. High crown basket setting with vertical rib details and four prongs; split shank with small gold beads at the shoulders. Warm translucent stone with sunburst-style faceting.
Note: Presidium Gem Tester II first test reading falls between quartz and the lower topaz range, closer to topaz. Second test puts it in the topaz range. The gemstone has weight to it, but I do not feel comfortable stating this is a topaz.

❓ Fine Print ❓
 
PMSL Buys is not a jewelry expert. We may perform basic checks when listed: magnetism, scratch/acid metal testing, and gemstone range with a Presidium Gem Tester II. Not every piece is fully tested—see this listing for what applies. We cannot determine whether gems are lab-created or natural. Fine jewelry often has unknown history.
 
PMSL Buys is part-time; we reply as soon as we can, which may be outside typical business hours.
 
Returns: if the item is not as described or we made a mistake, you may return it for a full refund once we receive it back.
