DESCRIPTION: This sterling ring, made in Taxco, is a latch style -- a different, harder-to-find twist on the buckle ring. Simple, but with detail and dimension. Small, but not dainty, with a thick band. Solid; weighs about 5 grams (quite a bit for a ring of its size). Good for a woman's ring finger or a man or woman's pinky. Marked "Taxco TE-17" and "925."

SIZE: Measures out to about a size 7 1/2, but due to the width of the band, fits more like a 7. I take a size 7 ring, and this fits me perfectly. The band at the back is about 4 mm wide at the back, wider toward the front.

CONDITION: Excellent. Minimal signs of having been worn.
