Description
This is a gorgeous wide-band 18k solid gold ring. The design is based on ancient Etruscan ring designs. The Etruscans pre-dated the Romans in what is now southern Italy. I like this design because it has a lot of intricate granulation especially on the band. This is a medium-weight ring with more than 8.5 grams of 18k gold.
The gem silica is from Mexico and is a bright, beautiful Caribbean blue – some of the best I have ever seen. This material is no longer available except in small quantities from collections that come to light from time to time (for more info see link below).
The ring at its widest point is approx. 5/8” wide (at the front) and the band is approx. 3/8” at the back. (See photo with older U.S. dime for size/scale.)
This is considered a wide-band ring so you might consider sizing based on rings you wear that are comparable.
