D Shape Band Appraisal

Yellow Gold D-Shape Wedding Band

This item is a classic D-shape wedding band, characterized by its rounded exterior and flat interior profile. The ring is crafted from a bright, high-polish yellow metal, consistent with 18k or 22k yellow gold given its rich, saturated hue. The band appears to be approximately 3mm to 4mm in width with a substantial thickness, suggesting a solid construction rather than a hollow shell. The surface displays a reflective luster, although close inspection reveals a fine network of surface abrasions and micro-scratches consistent with regular wear and age. There are no immediate signs of resizing or major structural solder joints visible from this angle, indicating good integrity. The interior of the band is not fully visible, so specific hallmarks, fineness stamps, or maker’s marks cannot be definitively identified; however, the deep golden color is a strong indicator of high gold purity. The style is timeless and minimalist, likely dating from the mid-20th century to the contemporary era. The smooth, rounded edges exhibit quality hand-finishing or high-grade machine manufacturing, providing a comfortable fit for the wearer. There is a slight patina developing in the recessed areas where the ring meets the surface it is resting on.
