This review is for the 5mm version of the Celtic dragon ring (there is a thicker 8mm version out there as well). I was looking for a ring to replace my original wedding band that no longer fit--both my wife and I lost weight after our wedding and we wanted something inexpensive to wear, but the problem was finding a ring that was available in the sizes we needed AND in a style we liked. This ring was not our first choice because we were put off by the bright yellow in the photo. But after months of searching, we kept returning to this ring because it was the only one in the sizes we needed. Then the price dropped, and we went ahead and ordered them. Amazon's 2-day shipping was right on time. We opened up the box and to our happy surprise, the rings were not as yellow or gaudy as pictured! Under certain light the ring does flash extra golden, but for the most part, it appears a subdued color, almost silver. The etching is visible, but a little difficult to see clearly due to the reflective surface of the ring. That is actually just fine--the overall appearance of this ring is a tasteful, subdued piece. My wife and I are very happy with this ring.
