@Gary, the complexity of this puzzle is the number of overlaps each ring suffers - all have four overlaps from the other rings. Your solution only manages two.
I split my rings by cloning the uppermost ring and slicing it into two parts so there is only a single crossing.
The shadowing and edging is extremely well handled; my design fluffed the shadow until I realised I could group the final design before adding the shadow. I've always said you're a bit shady.
Could you describe how each ring has exactly a 2 cm banding?
@Marco, your solution seems to be perfectly symmetrical and a match for mine. Well done.
Can you answer the same question?

If you make your ring or ellipse using a line first then converting the line to shape, the width of the circle/ellipse is uniform throughout.

I've done exactly what you both said, first I've created the ellipses and the circle with a line thickness of 2cm and then converted them to shape. After that, centered all (after rotating the two ellipses 45° and -45° respectively) and CTRL-5 to intersect. Done that I've united again the pieces so to build your design an finished adding the line width required.

I have found that if you do not have the rotation of the shapes are zero or so other corner angle, you get extra jaggies.
In this case, I got round it by cloning the cutout circle rotating it 180° (as it is rotationally symmetrical) and Adding Shapes.
Full marks.

Another thing you may or may not have observed. The patches for the overlays, can be rotated and duplicated around the center of the circles. Not sure about the ellipse though.
