    STERLING SILVER AND CHRYSOPRASE RING FRANK TAIRA
    THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL MODERNIST STERLNG SILVER BAND RING BY FRANK TARIA 1915-2010. FRANK TAIRA , A JAPANESE AMERICAN  WAS BORN IN SAN FRANCISCO . HE IS FAMOUS FOR HIS ART WORK BUT TURNED TO JEWELRY DESIGN. CHECK OUT HIS EXTENSIVE BIOGRAPHY ON THE INTERNET. THIS RING IS 1950'S MID-CENTURY MODERNIST, HAND WROUGHT, STERLING SILVER WTH A CENTRAL NATURAL  GREEN CABACHON CHRYSOPRASE APPROX 7 MM SET IN A BEZEL MOUNTING.  IT IS SIGNED TWICE ON THE INSIDE STERLING AND - TIARA-. VERY HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH THE SIGNATURE AND I HAVE DARKENED THE IMAGE SO YOU CAN READ IT.  THIS IS A VERY HEAVY RING 8.2 DWT OR IF YOU PREFER 12.7  GMS AND IS 1/2 INCH WIDE ON THE SIDE AND 7/8 INCH ACROSS THE TOP  AND IS A SIZE 7 3/4  APPROXIMATELY. . I HAVE IT PICTURED ON MY HAND WHICH IS LARGE. THIS COULD EASILY BE A MANS RING AND PERHAPS IT WAS AS  IT TAKES A LARGE HAND FOR THIS RING OR AT LEAST LONG FINGERS. THE RING IS VERY THREE DIMENSIONAL  WITH A RAISED DESIGN  THAT I WOULD CALL ABSTRACT .  IT IS  EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE RING OR STONE. .
