I actually bought this ring from a vender at Knotts Berry Farms in California as well as another item. I absolutely love this ring, I get comments on it all the time from friends or people I hardly know asking 'Oh, are you Irish?' To which I proudly reply I am or, 'Oh! I love your ring by the way.' I've had it for almost two years now and while I probably should give it a good polishing soon, which I've failed to do yet, it's a great ring. The only thing I've noticed is that the band has become slightly bent from all the wear and tear that I put it through. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a casual piece of jewelry considering I myself am anything but a jewelry person. In fact this ring is usually the only thing I wear. :)
