Antique 1920s 14K yellow gold patterned Belais wedding band

A slim and beautiful 14K yellow gold Art Deco band from Belais. It is a bit unusual to find Art Deco Era bridal jewelry in yellow gold from Belais, as they were best known and most successful with their white gold jewelry. This band bears the faintest evidence of engraving on the segment pattern. The wear leaves this band with a kind of notched appearance that strikes me as quite contemporary. This would make a wonderful stacking band or wedding band!

Of interest, taken from Lang's Antique Jewelry University entry on Belais:

"During the late 19th and early 20th century, they experimented with various alloys for white gold as a substitute for platinum in jewelry. David Belais presented his final formula to the trade in 1917. A patent was applied for on October 5, 1918, and granted on February 10, 1920. The formulation specified in Belais’ patent resulted in an 18 karat white gold alloy composed of gold, zinc, and nickel which thus avoided any problems with the platinum restrictions imposed by the war."
