Layers of individually modeled gold ribbons cross over a deeply recessed ground, creating remarkable dimension and the appearance of handwoven textile translated into gold.
The generous half-inch width and substantial 11.2-gram weight give the ring a powerful presence, while its smoothly finished interior allows it to sit comfortably on the finger. The all-around design makes it equally compelling from every angle.
Interior markings include a 14K gold stamp accompanied by a sequence of star-shaped workshop marks. The design closely corresponds to documented basket-weave jewelry by Henry Dankner & Sons; however, because the maker’s stamp is not fully legible, the ring is offered without definitive designer attribution.
A beautifully constructed vintage gold band with architectural texture, impressive weight and an unmistakable 1970s–1980s aesthetic. Suitable for women or men and particularly handsome worn alone as a statement ring.
