Emerald Cut Blue Topaz Solitaire Ring
Unbranded (Likely artisan or commercial jeweler) · Jewelry & Watches > Rings
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to 2010s based on the split-shank minimalist design
Material
Likely Sterling Silver (925) with a faceted Sky Blue Topaz or glass/synthetic stone; the dark oxidation on the band suggests silver base metal.
Condition
Fair to Good. Visible heavy oxidation/tarnish on the band and settings; the center stone appears to have some surface abrasions and internal inclusions common in lower-grade natural stones.
Demand Level
Moderate. Semi-precious gemstone rings are steady sellers, particularly for buyers looking for affordable birthstone jewelry (December).
Resale Value

$25.00 - $45.00

Comparable Sales
Similar sterling silver sky blue topaz rings typically sell for $20-$35 on Mercari and $30-$50 on Poshmark depending on the weight of the silver.
Description
Bold emerald-cut blue stone ring featuring a four-prong setting and a unique split-shank band. The stone has a clear 'Sky Blue' hue. A statement piece that bridges the gap between cocktail jewelry and everyday wear.
Key Features
Large emerald cut stone; popular 'Sky Blue' color; split-shank band adds architectural interest; silver base provides value over costume jewelry.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: Medium. Look for a '925' or 'Sterling' stamp on the inner band. Natural topaz will have inclusions under a loupe and won't show bubbles like glass.
Flaws to Note
Significant tarnish on the metal; minor scratches on the table of the stone; prongs appear slightly uneven and may need tightening to secure the stone.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Etsy (if vintage/handmade). Local sales on Facebook Marketplace are also effective for low-cost jewelry items.
Selling Tips
Polish with a silver cloth before photographing to remove the black oxidation. Use a macro lens or 'Portrait' mode to capture the clarity of the stone. Mention the ring size (use a mandrel or ruler) in the listing titles.
