Rings

One of my favorite rings. I liked it so much I bought 2, one to wear on each hand! This ring is thicker and heavier than most you would find at a mainstream retailer, which may bother some, but I think the weight of the ring adds to its beauty, giving it a strong, substantial quality. The design is different from most band rings I've seen lately, which seem to be either very plain, floral, angular or full of convoluted intertwined swirls. I always appreciate something both unique and beautiful. The design does not go all the way around the band. There are a few millimeters of blank silver area on the band, but I personally don't think it takes anything away from the quality of this 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.

The Seruni White flower looks as if one could just blow it away like a dandelion head, but it is actually quite sturdy, the silver open petals minimally bending even with force applied.
