Vintage 9ct Gold Cocktail Statement Ring Set With Oval Cabochon Tiger’s Eye Gemstone, 1964

Vintage 9ct gold oval tiger’s eye cabochon ring, fully hallmarked Birmingham 1964

This stylish vintage 9ct gold ring showcases an impressive oval cabochon-cut tiger's eye gemstone, displaying vibrant golden-yellow and rich caramel tones. The stone exhibits a beautiful silky lustre and the classic shimmering cat’s-eye effect, known as chatoyancy, that shifts gracefully under light.

The ring is finely handmade in solid 9ct yellow gold, fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1964, and stamped 9kt / 9k / 375. It features a clean, minimalist bezel setting that securely frames the gem. The smooth polished shank ensures comfortable wear, while the bold gemstone offers striking visual impact.

Tiger’s eye has long been prized for its symbolic associations with protection, strength, and prosperity. The warm hues of the gemstone combined with the richness of yellow gold evoke a classic mid-century English aesthetic, perfect for collectors of vintage jewellery or lovers of distinctive statement rings.

The ring is presented in a smart presentation case, ready to be gifted.
