Gaspare, no offense- but why on earth would you disparage this ring? It is to any one of the USA ring collectors and others I have spoken with - they identify it as a one of kind wearable piece of art. I hope you are not upset with me based on other posts, because honestly G- I mean no disrespect to you or anyone on this forum. But ?dont spend a lot of money on it?? Really? Is that necessary? It matters not to me, as its never leaving my collection. Its a New York mural impressed or hand engraved or cast or whatever on a ring. I love it.
