Vintage Platinum 900 Iridium Band Ring 2.2mm Size 8
A timeless example of classic American craftsmanship, this vintage band is crafted from solid 900 platinum alloyed with 100 parts iridium, as indicated by the original interior hallmark stamped "100 IRID. 900 PLAT." This platinum-iridium alloy was commonly used in fine American jewelry throughout the mid-20th century and is valued for its strength, durability, and excellent wear characteristics. Measuring approximately 2.2 mm wide, the ring features a simple polished profile that has remained a classic design for generations. Whether worn alone or stacked with other rings, its clean lines make it a versatile addition to any jewelry collection. As expected with vintage platinum jewelry, the ring displays light surface scratches and a few small dings from decades of normal wear. Unlike gold, platinum does not wear away over time but instead displaces when impacted, allowing it to retain nearly all of its original metal. These signs of age are typical of vintage platinum jewelry and reflect its history while preserving its durability. Details Metal: Solid 900 Platinum / 100 Iridium Hallmark: 100 IRID. 900 PLAT.
