Behind the collar the strands ease out and resolve into a single plain polished band. Everything is finished bright, so the ridged section and the smooth section throw light differently and the collar reads as the quiet point between them. 1.7g of solid \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/collections\/925-silver\" title=\"925 Sterling Silver Collection\"\u003e925 sterling silver\u003c\/a\u003e, stamped S925.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rope is stronger than the sum of its strands because of the binding, not the fibres, and that is a very old thing to put on a hand.

The engineered choice, not the cheaper one. Genuine 925 develops a soft grey patina that polishes off — green in the grooves means base metal underneath.

Can the collar be engraved?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is small — 2.6 by 3mm — and slightly curved, so it will not take a name, but an initial or a single character is within reach of a good local engraver.

Does it need a UK hallmark?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. UK law requires assay hallmarking on silver articles of 7.78g and above; at 1.7g this ring is exempt, and the S925 on the plain section is the maker’s fineness mark rather than an assay office hallmark.

The band is open at the back and flexes across that range rather than locking to one size; ease it a little at a time, holding the plain section near the opening rather than the strands or the collar.

How do I clean between the strands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA soft dry cloth for the plain band and the collar, and a soft dry brush drawn along the strands in the direction they run — never across them. Avoid silver dips and ultrasonic cleaners; a dip will brighten the grooves and the ridges equally and take away the depth the design relies on.
