Sterling Silver Hammer‑Textured “Fan” Ring | Size 5 ½

Five tapered ridges sweep across the finger like a hand‑carved shell fan, each ridge finished in a hammered, light‑catching texture and framed by naturally patinated channels for dramatic contrast. Solid construction and tool marks suggest small‑studio work from the late‑60s / 70s modernist era—more art‑jewelry than mass production. Details • Metal: solid .925 sterling silver (XRF‑verified) • Size: 5 ½ (snug 5.75 on mandrel) • Weight: 5.1 g • Face width: ~13.5 mm at widest point • Hallmark: worn—partial “8” inside band, and another indistinguishable mark that might be a maker's mark • Finish: original hammered texture; grooves have aged patina (I did not re‑oxidize) Condition: Good vintage condition. Facets remain crisp and reflective. Moderate surface wear and some pitting on the inside of the band—nothing that affects strength. Cleaned in Speed Brite and left unpolished to preserve character.
