Modernist Tigers Eye Navette Ring

A long, slim navette of golden-hued tigers eye gemstone is set in a fun Modernist statement ring. The gem is clasped by six claw-like prongs, held in a 10k gold navette setting. Glittering rope engraving frames the gem. The gallery is a raised basket of open gold work over a half round band. The interior of the band is marked "ESEMCO." Tigers eye has an optical property known as chatoyancy, intergrown fibers that reflect a silky shimmer that almost seems to flow across the gem. It's the ideal gemstone for this dramatic ring. Circa 1960.

ESEMCO, founded in 1906 in Newark, New Jersey, is a fine jewelry manufacturer and a division of Seaman Industries. The company was renamed Seaman Industries in 1971.

Details.....Currently a size 6.75. The top of the ring measures 9mm by 29mm and the band is 1.9mm. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of the charm.
