Feedback
The ring was too big. My girlfriend really liked the design, but she said it was too awkward to wear it. So, took it to the jeweler, and they cut off the ring and placed a clasp on it, and I turned it into a necklace. I had the jeweler drill out a hole in the handle and insert a 1 carot tanzanite stone. It's really cool! So, nice necklace. Not so nice ring. Brad
