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.

i have shopped Novica for years and have found the artistry imaginative designs and quality second to none. This piece is one more example. The stone is beautiful and casting exquisite. Lenny is a master silversmith and I thank you. My husband gave this to me for Christmas and I now wear it with other pieces that have meaning to me. The fact that Novica supports small artisans beings me much joy. I tell everyone I know and hope they discover you too.

I just love wearing these earrings. They re a good size, with some movement but not distracting. You can dress up or down with these. Happy I found a very well made, interesting and more unusual pair of black and silver earrings.
