Hi Tom (and Ralphie) - the brown ones look to be tiger eye. The round black ones could be black onyx, which is used a lot in Mexican pieces. Good to see you have power, I see where millions in Florida don't.
Edited to add: Or are the black ones pearly? Or maybe hematite?

that's such an inside joke, you must be the only one who gets it!
Interesting ring, but the wirework is weirdly ugly.
It looks like it's all held on by a rivet that is decaying.
Oddness!
Edited to add: rivets on a ring tend to not be of the greatest desirability. Unless you are using them in an artistic sense. Maybe this one is, but I don't get that vibe on this one.
Where is fwc to whoop my butt on this one?
Gosh I miss that cat!

The black stones look opalescent, but not bright enought to be hematite. Maybe they are glass of some kind?
The holes look a little too big to be pearls. Of course I could be wrong, mebbe they used a reamer.
Onyx?
I don't know, the edges by the holes look lighter, it's hard to tell!
CR, do tell...

Unique Handcrafted Freeform Sterling Silver Ring
Sensual handcrafted ring with primitive styling, flowing lines and warm tones created thru the combination of hand drilled tigers eye and "xxx" stones and the natural aged patina of sterling silver by an unknown Mexican artisan.
or something like that

The black beads look like Hematite to me. They are kind of black with a gun metal sheen and if so they are hematite.

The stones are hematite I think. They are a gun metal black.

Because women have petite fingers . Am I correct that it isabout 3/4" across? If so it is about a size 6 ring.

Hematite is more silvery
linkage:
hematite info
It could be a finish on a glass bead.
Just to be on the safe side.
Hope this link/image stuff works.
