Mexican silver and tiger's eye "cha-cha" Charm Ring

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...
