Description

Van Craeynest 456 wedding band, size 6, crafted in 14K yellow gold. The ring was handmade, die struck and hand chased by artisans in San Francisco, California; this band predates the selling of Van Craeynest outside of the family which guarantees that it is die struck and not cast. The pattern is acanthus leaves.

This band has a gorgeous presence on the hand. This style, in particular, has intricate detail that is visible without a loupe (unlike some VC styles). The band is very comfortable to wear and easy to put on; I can slip it onto a size 6,5 finger comfortably because of the rounded edges of the tapered shank. The shank will accommodate reasonable sizing by an experienced bench.

This band is bright and shiny; to me eye it has never been antiqued. It would make a beautiful addition to a yellow gold stack as well as a lovely wedding band.

(Current pricing for a 456 band crafted in 18K YG is approximately $2200, per Van Craeynest in May 2013. Other than that I can't give a retail comp as VC no longer makes rings in 14K.)
