Tigers Eye & 14k Cocktail Ring, Where were these made?

[bigcaddy64]

I’ve been sorting through my big jewelry haul from this morning and I’m curious to know more about this ring

Now that I’ve found out that it’s inlaid with 14K, I’d like to know where these were made or what time frame were they popular. 1960s? 1970s?

Aside from the gold mark, there are no hallmarks of any sort.

Common sources of tiger eye are found in Australia, Burma, India, Namibia, South Africa, the United States, Canada, China, Korea and Spain.
My guess is that ring was made someplace in South America and that's just a guess.

I just sold a couple like that that were made in Italy. I had a white one, that style and black. I know a lot of were ivory also. The ones I had were the new were than one kind a looks like a 70s style maybe? Some were also listed as brown onyx it if that helps you search online at all.

Only difference is the direction of the carved lines with the gold inlay.

Well, I need to run out at and get me some Tiger's Eye gems! My short range (up close) vision is waning, having trouble adding up multiple numbers (figures) in my' head like I used to be able to do with ease, can't seem to focus on my tasks anymore and I usually spend more than I make, so I need to make a lot more.
