My Thoughts on Sokolov's Unique Frog Ring for 2K - A Refresh for My Collection
As a self-proclaimed jewelry enthusiast, I've always been drawn to unique and quirky designs. That's why I was thrilled to stumble upon Sokolov's frog ring during one of my browsing sessions on their website. The ring's charm is undeniably cute, and I couldn't resist the urge to add it to my collection.
Before I dive into the details, let me give you a brief background on why I bought this ring. I often pop into SOKOLOV stores out of curiosity, or browse their website for similar reasons. They sometimes have some really interesting designs. Yes, the quality of their jewelry can be hit-or-miss, but if you don't expect it to be high-end, you can still find some cute little trinkets to treat yourself.
Truth be told, the value lies in the sentimental aspect, and it's just for you. I did the same last year when I bought these lovely earrings with a beautiful blue stone - you can read my review of them. This year, I stumbled upon this little frog, which I thought was cute. But the size I saw in the store didn't fit, so I had to order the correct one separately.
I'm still happy with the ring, and I also bought these gorgeous earrings with a leaf design for a fraction of the price.
Design
I've gotta say, the charm is not small, and the frog is easy to spot. It's got front and back legs, a spine, and a head. The spine is covered in tiny faiant stones, and the little frog's eyes are made from green faiant stones. My only complaint is that they didn't add a funny little frog tail, but I guess that's okay.
Some friends have already told me that this charm looks like a toad, but I'm convinced it's a frog. It's small and slender, not puffy like toads tend to be, and it's definitely smaller than a toad. So, I'm sticking with my original conclusion – it's a little frog!
Size issues
One problem with affordable manufacturers like Sokolov is that their size chart often starts at 16. If you're looking for a smaller size, like 15.5 or 15, you might be out of luck.
The smallest size available is 16, and I had to wait a week for it to arrive since it was out of stock in the stores. It fits okay, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up in the cold weather. If your hands get chilly, the frog might just fall off. So, be careful, and consider wearing gloves.
I've found that I usually flip the ring inward in my hand so I don't accidentally catch it with my glove or remove it completely - it comes off my hand with zero resistance.
Material
It's silver, nothing out of the ordinary. But as I saw on the tag, it's rhodium-plated, which is actually a plus for the ring - rhodium protects the silver from scratches and wear, and it also helps the metal stay bright longer.
One thing that struck me is that rings are more prone to damage than other jewelry. We constantly brush against them, scratch them, or get water on them more often. So, the fact that it's rhodium-plated is a definite plus. The stones, by the way, are standard glass fianites - small and not particularly shiny.
The green eyes of the frog are also fianites, which is all I found in the materials description.
How easy is it to wear
One thing I've noticed with rings that have these unique shapes is that they tend to catch onto everything around them, especially clothes - especially knitted ones. I experienced this firsthand with this ring that's shaped like an eye, which I also really like, but it can be a problem.
It's mostly the claw prongs that are catching onto things, because they're sticking out. Plus, the ring is a bit too big for me, and the prongs are sticking out a bit more. Otherwise, the ring is fine in terms of ease of use, but if it fits perfectly, it'll be even less of a problem.
My impressions
I have to say, I really love this ring. For me, it's also got this association - it's like a traveling frog, just like me, a traveling frog who doesn't like sitting still for too long and always wants to see something new and visit new places.
I already have a ring with a plane on it and a pendant with a planet, and they're also like these good-luck charms that I take with me on all my trips. And I hope this ring will be the same. The only thing that's bothering me is that it's quite bulky, and that can be a problem when I'm traveling. But we'll see, maybe it won't be so bad after all.
Worth Checking Out
I've got to say, this ring is pretty unique. I'm a fan of unusual designs, like pandas, foxes, or even frogs. So, if you're looking for something that's not too over-the-top, but still stands out from the crowd, I'd say give it a look.
I've noticed that SOKOLOV often comes up with some really cool stuff, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on their new arrivals.
The Verdict
This ring is definitely worth checking out, but don't expect it to be a high-end piece of jewelry. As a novelty item, it's great, though. If you're looking for something interesting, I'd say give it a try. Plus, it's available on their website, and you can even check to see where it's available in stores.
