wow loving Mr Darcy hope he didn't do to much damage to the OEC fund lol

Thank you, Sphene! Somehow I missed your comment earlier. Lol, it was a very small dent to the fund. I consider it a slight detour, but I'm still on track!

Ohhhhhh, he's so HANDSOME! Of course you bought this! Had you not, it would be The One That Got Away! Sleepless nights by the boatload.

Its an amazing ring, it looks FAB on your hand

Thank you for enabling me!!!! Yes, this gentleman and I are soulmates and he needed to come live with me. It was that love at first sight kind of thing, you know? Thanks for your kind words!

Great purchase! If you are going to violate a rule make it worthwhile and you did!

Thanks so much! When I break the rules, I make it count.

This is the coolest. Someone must have painted this dapper gentleman with a single hair brush! The combination of the orangey red and greyish blueish background works with the gold bezel beautifully.

Thank you for your kind words! I only imagine the skill and time involved with painting this guy. The gold is a rosy color, too, which I think is more flattering on my fair skin.

Very cool ring! Enjoy wearing it - I'm sure it will draw lots of comments.

And if you're going to wear some guy's portrait on your finger, it may as well be a handsome one!

I agree! I've seen a lot of similar gentleman on eBay who just aren't as handsome. Here for example:
