I really like this ring. I have seen it in the store a couple of times now, and each time I linger around the jewelry case wondering if I should get it or not. I purchased the J.Crew's Cabochon Bouquet Cocktail Ring (Item 92716) awhile back and even though I love it, it is too cumbersome to wear (e.g. keeps getting in my way when I wash my hands or stuck on a coat sleeve). I was worried that the Nest ring would be the same. I was also worried about how well the "delicate hand-set acrylic beads" would stay put in the "twig-like nest".

Luckily for us, Gracefully (in this post) was kind enough to share her review of the Golden Bird's-Nest Ring with us.

Also, for those who like jcrew jewelry, i got the bird's nest ring for christmas (yay) in the coral color and love it. it really is beautiful and far more delicate in real life than it looks in the pictures. when i saw the website images i was afraid it would be garish or comical even, like a straggling birds nest sitting on my finger. but the nest part looks like filigree surrounding beads and not super nesty (unless you're told it's supposed to be a bird's nest and then you can see the effect) and the beads are fairly small and clustered. my only concern is that the beads are not set, so i fear they may come unglued with extended wear.

FYI on sizing, i got a size small -- the size i usually wear in rings -- and it's a little snug on the ring finger. doesn't fit index or middle fingers. but overall i got lots of compliments on this ring from both men and women. so if you're looking for something unique, i'd say this one's a get.

A big "thanks!" to Gracefully (in this post) for her great review! :)
