14K Yellow Gold Hammered Finish Wide Band Ring

This is a wide band ring, likely a wedding band or a substantial fashion ring, crafted from yellow gold. The interior of the band is smooth and polished, clearly displaying a '14K' hallmark, indicating it is made of 14 karat gold, which is common for durability and color. Next to the '14K' mark, there appears to be a maker's mark or additional stamp, possibly in the form of a stylized 'D' or a symbol within an oblong cartouche, though it is not distinctly legible from the provided image. The exterior surface of the band exhibits a textured, likely hammered, finish, which diffuses light and gives the piece a somewhat organic, artisanal appearance compared to a highly polished smooth band. This hammered texture also serves to mask minor scratches from daily wear, though some light surface wear is visible under scrutiny. The edges of the band are slightly rounded (comfort fit), contributing to a more comfortable wear for the owner. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be good, with a well-formed and consistent band. There are no obvious signs of repair or significant damage, and the gold maintains its characteristic warm yellow luster. Estimated age is modern to mid-20th century, given the design and typical use of 14K gold in Western jewelry.
