Description

This exquisite vintage sterling silver ring features a luminous tiger’s eye cabochon, beautifully set in a substantial band weighing 16.88 grams. Crafted in Mexico, the ring is marked “MEXICO” and “925,” with an additional mark above the 925 that is unfortunately unreadable. The bold design and quality craftsmanship suggest origins in the renowned silversmithing tradition of Taxco, a region celebrated for its exceptional silver artistry.

The tiger’s eye gemstone, with its golden-brown chatoyancy, adds a timeless and earthy elegance to the piece. The size 9 band showcases a minimalist yet striking signet-style design, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion. While the ring does show minor scuffs and scratches consistent with its age, these details only enhance its vintage charm and character. This unique Taxco-inspired piece is perfect for collectors of Mexican silver jewelry or anyone looking for a bold and meaningful statement ring.

Fixed size. Do not resize. The heat needed to cut and rejoin the shank damages set stones, and turquoise and inlay in particular will craze, discolour or lift out of the bezel.
