I first bought this style of ring in onyx and received complements. Then I decided to get this style in the turquoise, it is also an eye catcher. The color pops, especially when I wear, all black, all red, or all brown clothing. I have had several people ask me where did I get it. I didn't tell them that I got it on sale not did I say the metal was brass. Everyone assumed it is a gold ring..,
