Description
Marked Hecho en Mexico, sterling, 925 with a right facing eagle mark this is a 1980s large oval black obsidian gemstone slab ring with an adjustable band. It has pierced and geometric cut work on both the front and back. Guaranteed solid sterling silver with its original natural mined gemstone. Size of top is just over 1 1/4″ by 1 1/8″. See photos of ring on ruler….it is quite large. The stone looks more like obsidian than a black onyx as it is not as shiny as a well polished onyx and it has a very smooth almost greasy texture so more likely to be obsidian. The stone is bezel set and measures 22mm by 16mm. No chips, cracks, flakes, abrasions, inclusions, scuffing. Overall excellent condition. The sterling setting is also excellent. No tears, deep scratches, dents or dings. Never altered or repaired. All original condition. Ring size is 7 1/2 with the band tightly curved the way you see it in the photo and could be adjusted up to a size 9 or 10 as there is 1/2″ overlap that you can see on the upper curve in the photo. This is a gorgeous, well-made, hand crafted ring for your vintage late mid century Mexican Silver jewelry collection.
