My friend who also buys from Novice showed me this ring she ordered and I loved the look and detail and the brilliance of the stone that I asked her if she minded if I "copied" her and got one for myself and she said she didn't mind. They didn't have my size 7 at the time, but after speaking with the Novice representative they contacted the artisan and asked if it could be done and he agreed! I wear it on my first finger as a cocktail style ring and it is gorgeous. The detail of the feathers and eyes are wonderful. This is no cheap piece of silver, this is heavy and strong and definitely worth the money spent. I think it is a great piece for both men and women and if you love owls you will love it, it is so unique. I don't think of it as "worried owl" though, I think of it as "Wise Owl" since this was a great choice for both my friend and I as presents to ourselves Highly recommend this artisan as I have bought other pieces from him as well and love them all!
