A Chrome Hearts Keeper ring in 18K white gold is set with a single blue sapphire, in Japanese size 16.

The Piece

Chrome Hearts was founded in Los Angeles in 1988 by Richard Stark. The Keeper takes its name from the house’s studded, architectural rings: a substantial white-gold band carrying one blue sapphire rather than a field of stones. This example is Japanese size 16, with an inner diameter of about 18.12 mm, and weighs 38.74 g — a ring with real mass on the hand.

Close photographs show the sapphire in its seat and the engraving on the reverse. The band is a slip-on form, without a hinged opening. Collectors treat the Keeper as one of the clearer statements of Chrome Hearts in precious metal: the silhouette is immediately readable, and a single coloured stone gives the gold a point of focus.
