Fun, musical, combining sterling silver with the luxurious tones of molten gold, caramel and deep chocolate brown this vintage Mexican charm ring boasts six dangling miniature charms, each housing a tiger's eye cabochon. The band, textured with silver-work and Etruscan Revival-type florets, is generously wide and visually interesting. I love rings - I never go out without wearing one, preferably big and bold - and these Mexican "charm" versions bring to mind the brio and vivaciousness of Carmen Miranda's exuberant performances...
Size / Weight: currently sz 8.5 US (relatively adjustable by your jeweler); band is 9/16" wide; face is 1" N-S (including the drop of the dangles) by approx. 7/8" E-W; 13.5 grams
Hallmarks / Date: "STERLING 925", "TAXCO" and maker's signature that I can't make out as well as a badly stamped Eagle assay mark; 1950s-60s
Condition: excellent vintage with beautiful stones, securely set in their bezels, gorgeous colors, nice patina and no damage or repairs noted
