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.

This unique jade ring is simply beautiful, exactly as pictured. Zandras craftsmanship is exceptional and I love it! It is also worth noting that I received my little package all the way from Guatemala in just 5 days with standard shipping (including the weekend AND with intercept to reroute to another shipping address that was so graciously taken care of by the NOVICA team)! I couldnt believe it. This business is truly competent and caring. Also, the details of the package were the cutest, but I dont want to give away all the surprises ;) Any purchase from NOVICA supports and empowers artists and is highly recommended 3 Thank you!!!

Finely crafted and very easy on the eye. The size and shape of the stone as well as the simplicity of the design make this ring a stunner. I get compliments every time I wear it.
