Atlas Millennium Ring Appraisal

Tiffany & Co. Atlas Millennium Band Ring

This is an authentic Tiffany & Co. sterling silver band ring from the iconic Atlas collection, specifically a millennium-edition variant characterized by its heavy, wide-profile construction. The ring is crafted from .928 sterling silver and features the signature recessed Roman numeral motif centered around the exterior of the band. The numerals are deeply embossed against a sandblasted or matte finish within the central track, while the raised edges of the numerals and the outer borders of the band are polished to a high mirror shine. The internal shank bears the '© Tiffany & Co.' and '925' hallmarks indicative of high-quality silver craftsmanship. This particular piece shows significant signs of surface wear, including multiple fine scratches (scuffing) and minor nicks across both the polished and recessed surfaces, suggesting frequent use. There is a visible dark patina and oxidation in the crevices of the Roman numerals, which is typical for aged sterling silver. The ring features a flat interior for a comfortable fit and a thick wall thickness, denoting the durability and premium metal weight associated with late 1990s to early 2000s Tiffany men's jewelry designs. Despite the surface abrasions, the structural integrity of the ring remains sound with no signs of warping or deep gouges that would prevent professional restoration through polishing.
