Beautiful but POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. Gold wears off
Gorgeous ring - beautiful, light, and very unique. HOWEVER- after owning it for about 6mo (light wear, minimal water contact, always removed when cleaning to avoid exposure to chemicals, etc.), I noticed that the gold 'faded' from a of a lot of the circles, leaving them silver. As somebody familiar with jewelry casting, it was pretty evident that the amount of 18k 'gold plating' described is super minimal. When I took it in to Nordstrom, they said they could send it in for repair but that I would likely be charged and that it would take 3+ months...
I ended up returning the ring because I'm not going to pay extra to repair poor craftsmanship that should exist for the price of this ring.
I also felt that it would be moot to send a piece of poorly made jewelry back to the same designer initially responsible for the poor quality of the piece.
While Anna Beck designs beautiful pieces - they simply don't last. Instead of buying the same ring again (and watching the gold wear off after 6 months), I'm choosing to commission a jeweler to make a quality version of this ring.
