This is the most adorable ring! Nyoman Rena has captured the playfulness of the monkey in the design -- the monkey is bright-eyed, and has a happy smile. Love the positioning of the monkeys hands, too. One is underneath the monkeys chin, and the other is curved upward next to his face, in front of his ear -- so, typical of monkeys, he is assuming a silly pose, and clowning a bit. The ring has depth and dimension too. The monkeys fur texturing was carved into the original wax sculpt, so you can actually feel it on the silver end product as well. Although not a large ring (in scale) it has a nice, solid weight to it. It makes me smile whenever I look down at my hand.

I absolutely love this ring! Its really unusual—viewed at different angles it reveals new design elements. The beautiful details show the excellent craftsmanship that went into it. It would be interesting to find out more about how this design concept was created and its history—if any. Loved the packaging and the speedy delivery was appreciated.

The Glad Arabesque ring is a happy surprise. The design is as lovely and unique as it appears in the photograph, the pop of gold makes the ring stand stand out and look a bit special. It is is very lightweight and comfortable - so it slides on with ease and you hardly notice you are wearing it. For those looking for a heavy piece, maybe not for you. But I have been wearing a heavy diamond band for years, and I love the artistic, fine, handmade feel of this. I had no expectations for this ring, buying online, but it is truly beautiful and timeless. I can't explain it, but I feel the artists' perfectionism in the piece.
