An 18k yellow gold double swirl modern design ring. This size 6-1/2 or 6.5 crossover style ring weighs an impressive 8.58 grams. It measures 7/8 x 7/8" across the setting which has deeply grooved shell or swirl like crossover sections (or conchiglie, or shell pasta, if you are so inclined). This is a heavy, substantial ring and it is unmarked, probably because of the addition of two sizing beads which may have obscured the hallmarks. It is currently around a size 6-1/2; each bead stands 1/4" above of the band. It tests as 18k gold and it is in excellent condition with no dents, bends, corrosion, damage or repairs.
