I’ve had my ring for about a year and it still looks like new and has no damages. The patina is still holding strong and with a bezel set stone, the garnet hasn’t become loose!
I gave this to my mom as it contains my son's birthstone. She wears it every day! She did wear it into a pool and was worried it was ruined but a silver polishing cloth fixed that! My mom is not a jewelry person except for special occasions, but this is simple and elegant enough for her to wear daily. Not to mention it stars her grandson's birthstone!
