I had to give this ring a bit of time before reviewing it only because it was actually too big for the finger it was supposed to be worn on (ordered it to replace my engagement ring on 4th finger of right hand, and am currently wearing on middle finger of right hand).  I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered larger than what I thought I might need (8 instead of 7) because of the width of the band.  Now yes, it is a substantial band, and I can see the wisdom of such advice.  I do not blame anyone but myself for overestimating how fat my fingers are. :)  But I had to wait on the review because I kind of resented that the ring wasn't on the "correct" finger.  (Didn't want to return it because I'm in Australia and would have to return it though family members.)

I've been wearing this ring for over two months now, and I really, really like it.  It is a striking piece, well-crafted and very detailed.  A friend said that having it on the middle finger is actually quite good because it gives the ring a good presentation, balancing its size and impressiveness against my smallish hand.  The garnet is deep and dark red, not dirty or ugly in any way.  The silver is bright and shiny, and my finger has not shown even a hint of going green as some reviewers commented.  I really do love this ring, and I am extremely happy with my purchase.  Silver Insanity is awesome.

Update: Now mid-2013 - have had this ring for over two years, and although I do not wear it ALL the time, I wear it quite often.  It's still shiny, still polished, stone is gorgeous, and I've never had any problems with it.  Am contemplating getting the plain version of this ring as an alternative to my gold wedding band - this time I'll know what size to get!
