💎 Vintage Taxco Mexico Sterling Silver Black Onyx Statement Ring – Signed CFJ 5

An exquisite vintage Mexican artisan ring crafted in solid sterling silver (.925) and set with a smooth, polished black onyx cabochon. The piece bears the hallmark “STERLING MEXICO CFJ 5”, denoting skilled silversmith craftsmanship from the famed Taxco region — a world-renowned center for fine handcrafted silver jewelry. This ring features a striking oval onyx stone encased in a sculptural bezel, complemented by a wide split shank band that adds both strength and elegance. Its minimalist yet bold design reflects the mid-century modernist style that Taxco jewelry is prized for. This heirloom comes from my late mother’s personal collection, acquired during our family’s years abroad while my father served in the U.S. Air Force. It remains in beautiful condition, with light natural patina and no stone damage — a stunning collectible or gift for anyone who loves authentic vintage silverwork.
