this is one of those designs that feels like a simple search engine query should offer clear provenance, but everyone tells a different tale. likely 1980s, marked NV, which many suggest is for a Nevada maker, and we can be sure that it's sterling silver + emerald + CZ.
this one has been worn and loved and has some quirks, but it's ready for another caretaker.
sterling silver + emerald eyes + CZ collar

~size 8 — it's slightly out-of-round so it doesn't sit perfectly flush on the mandrel at 7.75, so let's guess that if it was round and thanks to the concave setting, it likely fits like size 8 (or a really tight 8.25)
~13.5mm north/south on the finger at widest point
panther's head rises up to ~9.2mm off the finger
emerald eyes are each ~1.7mm
