Overview
This is a wide statement dome ring featuring a mosaic cluster of faceted natural gemstones—including amethyst, peridot, garnet, citrine, and blue topaz—set in silver with milgrain texturing. While described simply as 'costume,' rings of this heavy design were frequently crafted in solid sterling silver with genuine semi-precious gemstones.
Story
Multi-gemstone 'rainbow' dome rings skyrocketed in popularity during the 1990s and 2000s, popularized by designer lines on QVC and Home Shopping Network. They offered bold, high-end luxury styling using authentic semi-precious stones set in accessible sterling silver.
Maker / Origin
Likely uncertain maker; likely thailand, india, or usa (qvc/hns television shopping era).
