Dear Friends and Customers,
One Good Eye Silver is embarking on a big adventure as we prepare to move overseas. Though I am excited about our new beginning, I am also saddened for leaving after having spent almost thirty years in the US..
Until the move is completed, feel free to browse the site and email us with any questions you might have or to say “hi” but please do not try to purchase anything!
I am planning to re-configure the business and re-launch, from Europe this time, in the late Fall of 2024, if not earlier, and hope you will be patient and, once we are "live" again, honor us with your patronage.
Thank you very much for your trust all these years and for the thought-provoking conversations we have had - on jewelry, the history of personal adornment and life in general! See you again in a few months,
Margarita Poutouridou
One Good Eye Silver
Vintage sterling silver and turquoise ring signed "James L. McCallum" in script, this beauty is a mystery to me since I was not able to identify the maker. Seamlessly set in sterling, the stone has sea green undertones coming through the dominant blues and it is surrounded by an almost shadow-box like setting. The shank is split into three-prongs on the shoulders making the combination of circular and triangular shapes in the ring quite powerful. Very much in the style of Southwestern or Native American jewelry with a definite modernist twist…
Size / Weight: sz 9.5 (easily resizable by your jeweler); face is just shy of 1" in diameter; 9.8 grams
Hallmarks / Date: signed "James L. McCallum" in script; not hallmarked for metal content yet tested and guaranteed to be of sterling quality; difficult to date with accuracy but I would suggest 1960s-70s
Condition: excellent vintage with beautiful color variation in the stone, great patina, strong geometric design and no damage or repairs noted
