Cartier C de Cartier Openwork 18k Yellow Gold Band Ring

The double C, cut clean through the gold. A wide 18k yellow gold band built entirely from the C de Cartier motif — interlocking Cs linked end to end around the full circumference, with the negative space left open so light passes straight through the ring. No solid backing, no inner sleeve. The pattern is the structure. Every surface is high polish. The Cs sit slightly proud of the linking bars, which gives the band real relief on the finger rather than a flat engraved look. Edges are scalloped where the motifs meet, so the profile reads sculptural from the side. Vintage production, and the wider proportion shows it — this one wears bolder than the current C de Cartier bands. A signature icon you can read across the room. Size 51/ Us 5 1/2
