Borre Knot Garnet Ellipse Viking Braided Wedding Band Norse Celtic Sterling Silver Ring(Sizes 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars...it is absolutely gorgeous, and completely well worth the price. It is a significant sized band, so it was necessary to order at least 1 size larger; depending on the day and how swollen my fingers are, I can wear it on either my middle finger or my ring finger. To anyone purchasing this, be aware that a wide band means you need to order a size larger than what you would normally wear. Another thing I like about this is that the band almost looks like chainmaille jewelry; it looks vaguely similar to a full persian design. Also, the garnet is a great deep red, just like a garnet should be, and it is well placed in the ring; I`ve purchased rings before where the garnet was not set properly into the ring and was placed in on a slight angle. This, however, is perfect.

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!

This ring is absolutely GORGEOUS! At first, I thought the garnet stone was a little dull in color and lacked sparkle, but the ring just needed to be cleaned! (It didn't look dirty, but that made a big difference!) The garnet is actually a nice, quality, deep red and it sparkles beautifully! This ring looks very elegant and classy. The packaging was alright, not the best for gift giving though. The ring itself, most importantly, arrived undamaged. It is very unique, has a beautiful design and is comfortable to wear too. Thank you!

I love this ring. The stone setting is really beautiful and the band design looks amazing at this width. The combination of the two is very unique and definitely draws the eye. I've already gotten several compliments out of the blue on it. My only complaint is that the product description said to order a size up, but doing so actually made it too big for my ring finger (I'm normally a size 7, so I ordered an 8). It fits perfectly on my middle finger (see photos), but I'd hoped to have this as a non-traditional wedding band and was bummed after finding it too loose for my ring finger (so much so that it falls right off my hand without assistance). However, the seller was very quick to respond and kindly offered to make an exchange for me (though you'll be responsible for shipping and need to include an extra $3 for return postage). I've decided to just keep this size 8 for my middle finger because I really like it and didn't want to wait for an exchange. However, if you find yourself in a similar situation (the ring too big or small) and don't want to compromise on which finger you wear it on, rest assured that there shouldn't be a problem exchanging it. Shipping speed was average, though not as fast as I'm used to through Amazon. It was ordered on a Tuesday morning and arrived the following Monday.

It's more beautiful & detailed than the photo. I ordered this as an wedding band. Unlike most sterling rings, this has weight to it. I ordered one size larger because of the width, and it fits nicely. The garnet is a deep color & nicely cut. The mounting is open underneath with access to clean the stone, also bringing more light than if the stone was set "in" the band. Cleaning could be a challenge but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

The ring came really fast so for shipping I'd give 5 stars. It's very pretty, the stone is really really dull and looks more like one of the stick on rhinestone earrings from the 90s. The main reason for giving it one star is it turned my finger green in less than 6hrs. I got it last night, put it in and got up this morning to a big wide green band around my finger and hand where I had my hand closed. Pretty but not what I'm looking for.

It is a nicely designed wide band ring and the garnet is a good red color which deserves 5 stars. But it is not nearly as "beefy" as it appears on the website. The silver is lightweight and I think it might lose it's shape if pressure was put on it, which is why I gave it 3 stars. If the band had substantial silver weight, it would be a 5-star ring. That being said, it is pretty I plan on keeping it and hope it holds up working around horses.
