Review of Sterling Silver Bali Ring with Braided Edge


Bohemian Statement Ring!

By Regalia Silver Staff from Cedar Park, TX on 9/3/2010

 

5out of 5

Pros: True to size, Beautiful, Stylish, Versatile

Cons: Tarnishes Easily

Best Uses: Everyday, Office

Describe Yourself: Practical, Modern, Stylish

This is a nice wide band with beautiful braided detail. This ring is sterling silver and depending on how you care for it -- it will tarnish. You can keep it looking nice with a small silver polishing cloth. Unlike some very wide band rings, this one is true to size. Ie: if you normally wear a size 7 in a thin band ring, you can wear a 7 in this wide band ring (wide band rings will often require you to go up a size). The center of this ring is polished (shiny) silver and the braided detail and thin row of beading make it really interesting. Its a "non-blingy" statement ring. Perfect for jeans and a t-shirt or even with the little black dress!

Cute & Elegant!

Pros: Beautiful, Stylish, Good Length, Versatile, Good Quality
Best Uses: Travel, Office, Night Out, Formal Occasions, Everyday
Describe Yourself: Stylish, Modern
Is it possible to be elegant and cute at the same time? Yes it is! This piece is very sparkly, but in a very unassuming way. The bear measure about an inch long and the 18" chain is a good length and has a lobster claw clasp. The back of this piece is flat and hollowed out so it will sit nicely against your skin. Remember that you can still wear this if you need a longer length. Just remember to pick up a 3 inch necklace extender...

The photo doesn't do this ring justice. It is very shiny silver and the stones really sparkle. It goes with everything.
