I received this ring in the mail yesterday and honestly, I'm so excited about it that I don't know if I'll be able to wait 2 weeks to give it to my boyfriend for his birthday. The shine of the ring is gorgeous and the detail of the celtic dragon pattern is beautiful. There's no doubt that it's a dragon, the lines are that clear and smooth. Yes, you can't tell from far away that the design is dragons, but that's the point of how the ring is made. The dragons are a matte design on a mirrored background. It's a subtle, yet very cool, design and it's beautiful (sorry, I'm gushing). I was very skeptical of buying jewelry from Amazon, but this ring had such great reviews that I took the chance. My boyfriend bought me 2 beautiful rings for my birthday and Christmas and I plan to stun him with this ring. He'll absolutely love it. If you're on the fence, this ring is very unique and worth every penny.
