Golden ring with oval bezel, made by unknown artist. The ring is a gold-colored metal. The ring has a flat, oval bezel that is wider than the band. The bezel is smooth and rounded on the edges. The band is thin and appears to be made of the same metal as the bezel. The background is black and textured, resembling a rough, porous surface.
