This ring is designed to be worn over the finger's middle knuckle, like armor— the finger bends freely under the ring's highest point. The body of the shell has incredible textural detail, and it is finished with a glowing, high-color bloom. The ring's wide, adjustable, cuff-style shank is finished with a hand-engraved, Florentine texture. This is a challenging ring, and it makes a bold statement in wear! Really an object de art, it also looks beautiful just sitting on a nightstand. This bears the Lalaounis mark, it is also marked "Greece," and "18" for purity.
