Vintage Ed Levin Modernist 14K Gold + Sterling Silver Handmade Ring Signed Size

Description

Get "wearable art" here! I must admit this is a design from Ed Levin I have never seen before! It is a vintage ring and I believe it is a one of a kind ring. The ring is gold outside and silver inside, It tested positive for 14k gold and sterling silver but the inside is only marked Ed Levin sterling, normally there is also a 14K inside. (I have already taken this into account when pricing the ring.) It is in very good vintage condition, the close up view shows many many scattered small lines on each triangle section and they are uniformly dispersed across each section so I feel they are part of the design and NOT scratches. It is a size 6 1/4 and weighs 6g. It is 1/4" wide.
Anyone familiar with Ed Levin knows he offered his gold jewelry in a more affordable version. The ring is gold and made with a patented process of layering 14k gold over sterling that Mr. Levin developed. Mr Levin developed his layered gold over sterling to make gold jewelry that is more affordable for his customers. It is patented because it is a thick layer of gold over sterling, not gold plating, or gold filled but his own version that does not wear off or fade with time. The gold is meant to wear, hold up and look as beautiful as solid gold. The man was brilliant because I have collected his vintage jewelry for many years and even 60 year old pieces made in this way endure. It is important for me to let my customers know the jewelry comes from a non smoking home. The best part is you can put my jewelry right on, or give it as a gift, (unlike many vintage pieces) because....... Pieces are cleaned and polished by me in a solution of warm water and soap, and if need be I brush it with a soft toothbrush and polish it until my arm hurts! I know some people like patina in most cases true patina stays on the piece but the jewelry is clean, free of dirt and oils that build up from wear. Finally the piece is wrapped in a new white tissue paper.
