PLEASE NOTE: The photographs give the illusion the jewelry looks larger than it is; this is to show you the detail you could not see without a magnifying glass. Please look at ALL photographs posted…there is always one or two photos with ruler measurements in every listing created to give you an accurate indication of size. Also, the photographs posted are shot from the actual item (no stock photos.) The colors may vary just slightly due to light vs. shadow effect of the flash.

ABOUT THE EAGLE MARK:
From 1948-1980, Mexican silversmiths used an eagle mark along with other markings, letters, names and logos.  There are a variety of different styles of eagle marks- left facing, right facing, forward facing, some with a great deal of detail and others are simple line drawings.  Each eagle has a number stamped on it which may indicate the location or the identity of the maker.  We know that a #1 was for Mexico City and a #3 was for Taxco.  There was great variation and exceptions to the eagle numbering system.  Because there were so many exceptions, the eagle is not a reliable dating or identification system.  We do know however that it was in use roughly from 1948-1980.  Some sources believe the eagle mark system was in place as early as 1946.
The owl ring is delivered with jewelry box pictured. Cleaned, Sanitized, Polished, placed in Gift Box and Ready to Wear. Since the ring is preowned, I cleaned it with an electromagnetic cleaner with sanitizer
.
There is some slight wear that is typical & consistent with age and use.
I did leave a bit of patina for definition.
Please check out photographs!
