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.
More stunning in real life
I received these and they are beautiful. They will easily slip into the "favorite earrings" category. I'd like to mention I was thrilled with the size. From the picture(s), they looked much smaller, like maybe the size of a dime. They are actually more the size of a quarter and they're stunning and unique. Don't hesitate!
