Unknown if it will require re-plating at some point in the future. It has a very strong, chunky, free flowing angular brutalist design that is very showy when worn. The top measures 5/8" north to south by 3/4" wide east to west on the longer edge. Height off the finger line is 3/16". A nice showy old vintage brutalist ring for anyone who can work with the metal on it. Right now it is dull with age.
