The image of the ring on the site looks kind of like a mold - somehow doesn't look like sterling silver. Never fear, what arrives is a solid piece of shiny silver - like what the women model in the photos. I love that this ring is adjustable! It takes a bit of manipulation but you can adjust it to fit on just about any finger (I wear small ring sizes). For me this ring is just the right combination of simplicity and flare! (The photo shows it with two bracelets I love - the champagne harmony wrap and the ocean ribbon wrap.)
