Overall Condition: Very Good
Condition Notes: Striking in both color and composition, this unusual eternity band is electrophoretically coated in a vivid royal blue, dramatically enhancing the soft light blue tone of the 19 emerald-cut sapphires set in north/south orientation around the entire circumference. The sapphires are predominantly eye-clean, offering a clean and luminous presence that harmonizes with the bold, contemporary aesthetic of the coating. Beneath the surface, the mounting tests as 18k gold via XRF analysis. This piece balances daring design with timeless gemstone elegance in a thoroughly modern silhouette.

Electrophoretic coating, or e-coating for short, is a relatively new cutting-edge technique used in jewelry manufacturing. It is a mixture of both plating and enameling. The plating process begins with acrylic or ceramic particles electrically adhering to the gold's surface. The piece is then kiln baked to cure the coating. The result is a thin yet surprisingly durable metallic coating available in an array of vibrant, eye-catching colors. E-coating is transparent, allowing the sheen of the metal to shine through.
