That is a gorgeous ring! The shank somehow reminds me of Bulgari jewelry (which is a good thing, IMO). The pearl is amazing quality, and I am so glad it fits perfectly today. I find that after walking (for exercise) or biking, my fingers can swell considerably, but that is a situation that I would not encounter in my everyday life (as I do not bike to work). My climate is generally cool 3/4 of the year, so a ring that fits after exercise or in the heat of summer would be bound to be too big the better part of the year. Well done, and a great purchase!

So my go to as of late has been this Dolce & Gabbana ring. I didn't even know they made "fine" jewelry until I noticed this walking through Saks and was surprised to discover it was branded.

Wow, what a fun piece! It has such an old world look with the cannetille!
Thank you! I feel really good about the decision to get it. It's so outside of my usual jewelry wheelhouse but I expect I'll wear it quite a bit!
Unfortunately I am a walking/bicycle commuter but my fingers usually go back down in size fairly quickly and only change around half a size. I'm also in a mild climate which is great for rings. The only problem is these darn knuckles! I may still resize it a bit but I certainly don't need to rush into the decision which is great. And I worry that if I get it resized the whole thing will spin since the pearl is so big, so it's maybe better to just leave well enough alone!
Oh I have a set like that but with a garnet (I think).
DG has beautiful jewelry, some are like these classic Sicilian pieces and some are just fun and colorful pieces! I love DG in general, clothes and jewelry, shoes and bags, make up and perfumes! And most things are absolutely timeless.
I actually saw it in Tanzanite which was stunning. They have the garnet online! Saks in Boca had a matching necklace in the aquamarine but I didn't get it.
The pearl is beautiful. Wear it well. Your fingers are long & lovely..Thank you! I feel really good about the decision to get it. It's so outside of my usual jewelry wheelhouse but I expect I'll wear it quite a bit!

Agree that you should wear the ring & see where your comfort zone is with regard to having it sized.
As the weather gets cooler, the ring may work just the way it is. Enjoy!!
But these pieces are very particular and I can wear them for special occasions only, sadly I don’t have many of those lately. Sometimes I think life is passing by and it’s unfair for my jewelry to stay in a vault and I should just wear it anyway.
Yes, you should! I never have anywhere fancy to wear anything so when I bought a very special necklace earlier this year, I joked that I was going to wear it around the house naked lol. When I had a few friends over for a casual game night, they insisted I wear it so they could appreciate it.
Thank you! I'm thinking it will work, I realized recently that I can turn it a bit off-center during removal which gives it just a little more space, kind of like sizing beads. I've been enjoying it a lot!
Yes, just wear it! Jewelry is meant to be enjoyed!
How wonderful! Now I need to ask for photos of that necklace too!Yes, you should!
