Material & Composition
High-grade .925 Sterling Silver. The thumb ring features multiple clear cubic zirconia or white sapphire stones set in a pavé arrangement. Total silver weight estimated at 15-20 grams for the pair.
Finish & Decoration
Oxidized (blackened) finish in the recessed areas to emphasize the relief of the Cross motif. The pavé ring features a high-polish finish with bezel/prong stone settings. Style is Contemporary Gothic/Biker Chic.
Hallmarks & Stamps
Usually includes 'CH' or 'CHROME HEARTS', '.925', and date stamps (e.g., '1992' or '2001') on the inner shank. Marks are typically stamped or laser-engraved depending on the era.
Construction Details
Lost-wax casting process followed by hand-finishing, oxidation, and polishing. Stones are hand-set into the cast mountings.
Functional Features
Tapered inner shanks for comfort; open-work filigree on the Cross ring for breathability.
Handle & Grip Details
N/A (Jewelry item; ring shanks are smooth internally for skin contact).
Craftsmanship Details
Quality casting with no visible pits or air bubbles. The oxidation is applied evenly, and the stones are flush-set without uneven edges.
Authentication Indicators
Symmetry and depth of the casting; correct 'CH' logo font; weightiness of the metal; quality of the stone settings. Repetitive patterns should be crisp, not blurry.
Origin & Manufacturing
Los Angeles, California, USA. Hand-finished in the Chrome Hearts Hollywood factory.
Era & Period
Modern / Contemporary (Late 20th to Early 21st Century). The '90s rock-and-roll aesthetic redefined luxury silver.
Age Estimate
Circa 2010–2023. The pieces show moderate wear consistent with frequent use over a decade.
Cultural Significance
Pioneered the 'Luxury Biker' aesthetic, turning sterling silver into a status symbol rivaling gold and platinum in certain fashion circles.
Condition Notes
Very Good. Visible surface scratches (scuffs) to the silver shanks consistent with daily wear. Tarnish (patina) is present in recessed areas, which is intentional for this brand.
Value Estimate
Retail: $600-$900 for Floral Cross; $1,200-$1,800 for Pavé Band. Secondary market resale: $400 - $1,100 per piece depending on authentication and stone type.
Care & Maintenance
Avoid chemical silver dips as they will remove the intentional oxidation. Use a silver polishing cloth on high points only. Clean stones with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
