This is a spectacular sterling and tiger eye ring. What makes it so special and unique is the large round gorgeous, vibrant tiger eye stone. It is a size 6 1/4 but plain in the back so could be sized. The stone measures 7/8" diameter and is free of chips, cracks or scratches.( The white dot is refection from the camera). Weighing a sturdy 16 grams, it is signed Steinmarkt Berlin. I have not been able to find any information on the maker. Smashing on the hand!
