Adore!
This ring is so fabulous, I just received it yesterday so I haven't had a chance to wear it yet. Typically when I am coordinating an outfit, I prefer my jewelry to match the exact color, style, and design/shape of my clothes. To the extent that I will sometimes make my own jewelry to obtain the look I want. Now this is a ring that I feel transcends and I want to wear it in addition to what I normally do! Absolutely delightful! It looks like a little princess crown that you can wear on your hand :)
In memory of Chris
Bought this ring to commemorate the life of my son, Chris who passed away this April with a short but valiant battle with esophageal cancer. The teardrop represents the month of his birth and the tears he shed in knowing that his life on Earth would be ending soon and he would be returning to his maker. The teardrop is delicate in wide band of beautiful scroll work coming together in the center of the inside of the ring to form what looks like a butterfly, which represents "new life"--eternal life for him and a life without his physical presence for those he left behind. He will always be remembered. We love you and miss you.

A delightfully elegant ring
Friends who have commented on this gorgeous ring agree that the piece deserves a more accurate descriptor than "cocktail ring." It could easily be a wedding / commitment ring for an individual who is brave enough to break from tradition. The term "cocktail ring" recalls images of flashy stones, bordering on garish. This lovely pale green stone set in a highly polished sterling band, is the opposite of garish; the artisans have skillfully selected, cut, and polished the jade, showcasing its appealing, discrete beauty. The stone is precisely as pictured in the photo in terms of color and proportion, but it is highly polished, as befits the setting. Many rings with semi-precious stones can be thick and clunky, with rough edges and sloppy soldering. This piece was masterfully created, with not a rough edge to be found. My complements to the talented Jimenez family.
