Ceneri Quartz Ring Watch Appraisal

Ceneri Quartz Ring Watch

This item is a Ceneri Quartz ring watch, designed to be worn on the finger while functioning as a miniature timepiece. The watch case and band appear to be crafted from a polished yellow metal, likely gold-plated or brass, judging by its sheen. The watch face is circular and features a distinctive abalone or mother-of-pearl dial which exhibits iridescent shades of blue, green, and turquoise, giving it a unique visual appeal. The dial displays the brand name 'CENERI' at the top and 'QUARTZ' below it, indicating its movement type. There are no visible hour markers; instead, the iridescent dial serves as the primary aesthetic feature. A key design element is the embellishment of what appear to be small, clear, round-cut stones, likely cubic zirconia or inexpensive diamonds, set along both the left side of the watch case and across the 'shoulders' of the simulated watch band, where it transitions from the case. Specifically, there are five stones on the left side of the bezel, and three stones set horizontally across each upper part of the band. The band itself mimics the links often seen on traditional metal watch bracelets, adding to its miniaturized watch aesthetic. A small crown for time adjustment is visible on the right side of the watch case. The overall condition appears to be good with minimal visible wear, suggesting it has been well-maintained. Its small size, designed to fit on a finger, makes it a decorative and functional accessory. This piece likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century, consistent with the widespread use of quartz movements and fashion-oriented jewelry design.
