Antonio Pineda properly hallmarked this beauty that is 1in. wide but it looks like more because his design moves outward in the center for a convex shape of interlocking chevrons. The weight is a hefty 132 grams. These pictures are NOT photo shopped but the piece was very difficult to photograph with lots of reflections coming off the convex shape. The diameter is 2.25in. which will fit most. No damage, has fluid movement and a joy to wear.
