Review: Alex Monroe Jewellery Overgrown Column Ring with Racing Tortoise in Sterling Silver

 

I purchased  Alex Monroe Jewellery’s Overgrown Column Ring with Racing Tortoise in Sterling Silver (£54 from (£135) in their annual archive summer sale. The overgrown column ring with racing tortoise is part of the collection inspired by Aesop’s Fables. 

 The ring is chunky but not uncomfortable to wear.  The band measures 0.4cm, the tiny tortoise 0.9cm and the leaves 0.6cm. In the product photos the ring is shown with the leaves on the bottom of the ring but I also like to wear it so the leaves are at the top of the ring too. The tortoise is very detailed as are the leaves. The tortoise is 3D and so it isn’t a ring I would wear all the time in case I caught my glasses etc. 

I love the ring and have always enjoyed reading/rereading the fable behind its design. The ring would make a lovely gift for a tortoise fan or anyone who enjoys Aesop’s Fables. The ring is packaged beautifully in a drawer gift box which is where mine will live when it’s not being worn! 

I purchased the item myself and the views expressed in this blog are a my own,
