Received this ring yesterday and I love it. Very intricate work on the carving, nice and shiny too. Be aware that in physical appearance , the contrast shown in the picture is not the same, The carving is much shinier and stands out more on its own. Completely smooth surface all sides. It is stated as a Celtic design but IMO looks more like an Old Nordic design, the entwined beasts. This is why I bought this ring. It defo does not disappoint. I will be purchasing the same design with the gold Background in the future! Love IT!
