AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Silver and 18-karat gold ring with stylized cat – Mexico | ca. 1950–1970

Unique vintage ring crafted in silver, combined with an appliqué of 18-karat gold. The ring features a stylized cat figure inspired by Pre-Columbian Mexican motifs. The eyes are accentuated with small turquoise cabochons, adding extra expression and character to the design.

This type of figurative silverware is characteristic of Mexican design from the mid-20th century, where traditional symbolism was translated into modern, abstract forms. The contrast between the silver, warm gold, and turquoise accents creates a powerful and decorative whole.

The ring is inspected on the inside and designed as an adjustable model, making it comfortable to wear for multiple ring sizes. The ring is in good vintage condition, with light signs of use consistent with age and handmade craftsmanship.
