VTG Taxco Sterling Silver Ribbed Dome Ring Size 8 TE-30 Mexico Unisex 9.42g

This vintage sterling silver ring, marked 925 and hallmarked TE-30 Mexico, is a sculptural classic from the renowned silversmithing region of Taxco. The design features a ribbed dome top, with raised silver ridges that curve gracefully across the surface, creating a sense of movement and texture. The pattern evokes mid-century modernist design, with echoes of brutalist geometry softened by artisan craftsmanship. The band measures 3.5mm wide, tapering gently to support the bold dome without overwhelming the finger. Sized at 8, the ring weighs a substantial 9.42 grams, offering a satisfying heft and presence. The silver has a soft patina, enhancing the depth of the ridges and highlighting the handcrafted quality of the piece. The TE-30 hallmark follows the Mexican government’s post-1979 system for identifying registered silversmiths. “T” stands for Taxco, “E” for the first initial of the maker’s surname, and “30” is the registry number. This hallmark confirms the ring’s authentic origin and artisan pedigree, making it a collectible piece for those who value provenance.
