    We got this Vendome adjustable band ring in a recent lot for our shop.
    By the patent on the band, I know it is 1960 or newer, but can find no information on this particular Vendome in 2+ hours of research last night.
    I'm hoping to locate year of manufacture and estimated value, which I believe is in the $85-$125 range.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    The photograph of the patent number is not in focus. Would you provide it please? Also, may we see a photograph of the adjustable mechanism.

    US2,961,855 patent application was granted in 1960 and the company closed in 1979 so that is your window. This is a 1963 ad for adjustable rings. Notice the company is using a fully upper case logo so likely a bit early for your ring.

    In 1968, the company was still advertising adjustable rings but their logo had evolved to lower case with upper cap. That means your ring is probably no earlier than mid-1960s. (These types of cocktail rings were popular then.) Not sure why the exact date of manufacture would be needed if resale is your objective.

    Costume rings don't always sell for much, unless they're part of a parure. IIRC Vendome was one of the Coro names, but their higher end stuff. We aren't a site for pricing, but where I live you'd be lucky to get $20 in an antique store for a costume ring. They just don't move very well.
