It arrived exactly as depicted online, with a small yet irrelevant blemish on the ring itself - not a big deal, it was a sale item & will be worn so often that it will probably have dents in it before long, dents that will only serve to add to the character! Ha ha! I love this ring - You can choose to see it as an arrow, as a triangle, or as a mountain & valley (depending on which way you choose to wear it!). I love the versatility & the symbolism - a silent visual encouragement & motivation that is yours to know. Or just simply, something unique!
