This is a wonderful ring.  It would work well as a cocktail, dinner, every day, anniversary or even an engagement ring.  There is a large 17 X 12 mm very clean black onyx oval stone.  The setting is wide and has oriental designs on the side, they may even be words but I do not know.  It is really a lovely ring.  This ring is genuine 14 K yellow gold polished to a high mirror shine.  It has that warm glow and luster that only real gold has.  The band is marked 14 K and the piece weighs about 4.5 g.
