Type
Ring (Modernist/Multi-Band Style)
Purity
Likely 14K (58.5%) or 18K (75%) based on the deep yellow saturation and luster. High-purity alloy indicated by the rich golden hue.
Gold Type
Yellow Gold (High Polish)
Weight
6.0 - 9.0 grams. The ring appears to have significant volume with solid or thick-walled tubing across three loops.
Description
An elegant yellow gold ring featuring three interconnected, sweeping bands that create a layered 'stacked' look on a single finger. The loops are spaced to allow the skin to peak through, creating a sculptural, architectural aesthetic that balances bulk with negative space.
Key Features
Triple-band bypass design, seamless soldering at the base, and perfectly rounded ergonomic edges.
Color & Finish
Vibrant, high-saturated yellow with a mirror-like high polish finish. The surface lacks significant patina, suggesting recent production or careful maintenance.
Hallmarks & Stamps
Not visible in the image. Common locations for this style would be on the inner shank or the base where the bands converge. Expected marks: '750' or '18K'.
Dimensions Estimate
Width of approximately 12mm-15mm across the three top bands; Ring size appears to be approximately US 7 to 8 based on finger fit.
Gemstones & Inlays
None. The design is a 'naked gold' minimalist style focusing on form and luster.
Clasp & Closure
Not applicable (Infinite loop ring design).
Chain & Links
N/A. The band follows a rounded 'D-shape' or tubular profile for comfort and structural integrity.
Craftsmanship Details
High-quality casting with excellent finishing work. The junctions where the bands meet are smoothly integrated, showing no visible solder lines or pits.
Authentication Indicators
The rich color consistency suggests it is solid gold rather than plated (no chipping or base metal 'bleeding' at contact points). Deep luster is consistent with 18K alloy weight.
Origin & Maker
Likely commercial boutique or designer brand; stylistic similarities to contemporary Italian or French minimalist jewelry (e.g., Charlotte Chesnais or similar aesthetic).
Era & Period
Contemporary (2000s-present) with Modernist influences.
Age Estimate
Circa 2010-2024. The manufacturing precision and high-glaze finish are characteristic of modern vacuum casting or CAD-assisted production.
Cultural Significance
Represents the 'Quiet Luxury' movement—fine materials used in understated, non-branded geometric shapes that emphasize craftsmanship over logos.
Condition Notes
Excellent condition. Minimal surface micro-scratching; no visible dings, thinning of the shank, or warping.
Value Estimate
Estimated $650 - $1,200 USD. Value is largely determined by the weight of the gold (melt value) plus a 40-60% retail/designer premium.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. Professional buffing once every 2 years will maintain the mirror finish. Avoid gym use as heavy weights can deform the multi-loop structure.
