Costume Jewelry Stretch Ring with Floral Motif

This item is a statement costume jewelry ring, viewed from the underside to reveal its construction. It features a large floral-style head composed of four or five rounded lobes, likely petal-shaped, crafted from a silver-toned base metal. The reverse side shows a textured, pebbled finish characteristic of cast alloy pieces common in mass-market fashion jewelry. Central to the design is an elasticized expansion band, or 'stretch' band, made of interlocking metal segments held together by internal elastic cords, allowing for a universal fit. The metal displays an antiqued or 'oxidized' patina, giving it a darkened, gunmetal appearance. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or metal purity stamps, which suggests it is a contemporary mass-produced item rather than a high-end designer piece or fine jewelry. The condition appears fair, with some visible grit and debris trapped in the crevices of the setting and significant wear to the elastic band, which shows gaps between the metal segments. The craftsmanship is utilitarian, aimed at affordability and adjustable sizing rather than longevity or high-jewelry standards. Based on the construction methods, this item likely dates from the late 20th century to the early 21st century.
