Love this ring! The stone is a beautiful purple and a perfect size stone for my hand. Love the facets in the stone. The silver work is perfect and the band is thick enough (some are so thin they look like they will crack). So happy with this purchase and they even had it in size 11.
It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
