I'm something of a ring fanatic; I wear them on all fingers of both hands. My metal of choice is sterling silver. Tsavorite is of the garnet family, my birthstone (January), and the green is reminiscent of emeralds which I love (May, my Mom's birthstone) but can rarely afford. The photo doesn't do it justice. The mounting is heavy with an exquisite shine; the stones are a little lighter than the pic, but acceptable. The framing beadwork gives the illusion of many tiny diamonds sparkling in the light. Overall, a stylish, substantial piece for the price. This is NOT a small ring! Am 110% satisfied with the purchase.
