I love this ring and it is a great conversation starter.

A few things to be aware of.

1. It is a bit chunky. But if you like bulky rings, this will not be an issue for you and you will love it more.

2. It released a bit of tarnish during my first wearing. I buffed with a tarnishing cloth a couple times and it is no longer an issue. So just be aware that the first couple of wearings might produce a gray-ish residue on your finger. Don't worry; it stopped doing that after a couple days... and with tarnish cloth.

3. It is SLIGHTLY adjustable, only if you're careful. So if the ring is no more than a half of a size too big or too small for your intended finger, with care, it can be pinched to make it tighter, or pulled (EVERY SO CAREFULLY) to make it wider.

Be prepared to take it off repeatedly throughout your day to show people. I have lots of octopi jewelry, so this works well with my style and everyone at my work loved it. Plus, the design is abstract enough that it can be open to interpretation. Example: At first glance someone thought it was apothecia, a type of lichen... still very cool.
