Cecilia Tono Mexican silver and tiger's eye band Ring

Glistening caramel golds and molten browns dominate in this Cecilia Tono Mexican modernist bang ring. This is one of my favorite Taxco collaborations - the jewelry that came out of it slick and inventive with the highest quality of craftsmanship and the best of materials. There is nothing excessive about this ring - except maybe the heftiness of its oxidized setting - yet it immediately attracts the eye and holds the gaze captive with its liquid warmth and its generous width…

Size / Weight: comfortable sz 6 US (not resizable); 3/8” wide; 8.5 grams

Hallmarks / Date: signed with both Cecilia’s and Tono’s name alongside initials “AC”, “STERLING MEXICO” and “TAXCO 925”; pre-1948

Condition: very good vintage with gorgeous colors in the stone, its oxidation in good shape, generous in width and weight, with good patina and no damage noted except for a very small, very superficial nick in one of the horizontal pieces of tiger’s eye (you can see it in the photos but it does not register to the naked eye)
