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.

Beautiful gift for my best friend.
This ring is so simple and beautiful. I've been to Guatemala 3 times now and everytime I'm there I fall in love with the jewlery in the markets. I wanted to find a way to continue shopping in Guatemala while at home and Novica gave me that! This artist did an amazing job, this ring is in perfect condition and it's a beautiful stone. It's perfect for a gift, because it comes with a great story. I'm happy to support artisans in the country I love because they are truly talented and the world needs to know. I look forward to shopping more with this artist, this is my second ring I've bought from her and they're both beautiful.
