Craftsmanship Details
High-quality lost-wax casting with post-cast hand-finished engraving and precision mechanical spring-clasp assembly
Authentication Indicators
Clear '925' stamp indicates this is likely sterling silver, not gold. Consistent casting quality and weight distribution suggest a genuine high-quality metal rather than a base metal alloy.
Origin & Maker
Likely Italian or Southeast Asian artisanal boutique (common for Goti or Chrome Hearts inspired styles)
Era & Period
Contemporary (2010s-present) featuring Neo-Gothic or 'Biker Luxury' design influence
Age Estimate
Likely produced within the last 5-10 years based on clasp design and casting precision
Cultural Significance
Associated with the premium gothic jewelry movement popularized by designers like Goti and Chrome Hearts, signifying a 'luxury rebel' status.
Condition Notes
Very Good; light surface micro-scratches on polished areas, oxidation is well-preserved in the recesses
Value Estimate
$400 - $800 as luxury sterling silver item; if solid 18K white gold, melt value alone would exceed $2,500.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with a soft silver cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners which may remove the intentional black oxidation in the engravings.
