Gold-Tone Chain Identification (ID) Finger Ring

This item is an identification-style finger ring, designed to resemble a miniature ID bracelet. The piece is constructed with a yellow gold-toned metal and features a flexible double-link curb or rope chain band. At the center of the band sits a curved, polished rectangular plaque intended for engraving. The plaque shows a high-gloss finish with significant surface scratches and fine abrasions, suggesting regular wear. The chain links exhibit a moderate amount of tarnish or patina, particularly in the crevices where the links overlap, which may indicate a gold-plated or gold-filled composition rather than solid high-karat gold. There are no visible maker's marks, hallmarks, or purity stamps on the exterior of the plaque, which is common for smaller novelty jewelry pieces. The style is reminiscent of the late 20th-century fashion, specifically the 1980s or 1990s, when oversized chain jewelry and personalized 'ID' motifs were popular in costume jewelry. The overall craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, with standard soldering visible at the connection points between the chain and the central plate. The ring is presented on a decorative black and white patterned fabric surface featuring the word 'Paris'.
