    I have a seller offering me this ring for $500. It seems steep but I really like it and it fits me great. However I wanted to check in with you all because I can't tell if it is vintage or made to look vintage? I was thinking 1950s or 60s but am stumped... It has tiny diamonds, sapphires, and an aquamarine I believe. Can anyone tell me anything more? Also, is $500 too high? I would love to get it for $300 or so... Sorry for the pawn shop lighting!

    Does it have a maker's mark and purity stamp? Looks poorly cast and poorly finished,photos look like large stone has air bubbles and scratched on the pavilion.

    There is a purity mark and a maker mark but both are barely legible as they are poorly stamped it appears.

    Is the circled area a reflection or wear in the gold?

    I think it's trying to look nicer than it really is......

    good from far...but far from good !

    the band...not my taste.....doesn't compliment the top....and the fit and finish like Holly sez.....is lacklustre on close inspection.....

    save your money.....imo

    I like it. Think it is in desperate need of a cleaning. That cigar band shape was in vogue 30s- 40s.

    The design is great, but I do agree it’s not that well made.

    Poorly made, also the setting of the sapphires.
    It could be a Chinese faux Art Deco ring. I would pass and wait for a genuine one.

    It's screaming "get the metal tested" at me. It looks like a lot of pretty costume pieces I've been seeing.
