    I purchased the ‘Raindrops’ ring. It is absolutely beautiful! The workmanship is outstanding. The photos didn’t so it justice. This is my favourite ring by far. Thank you Flor for designing such a quality piece.

    Even lovelier than the photograph. The silver work is well done as is the Inca warrior face on the back. This goes perfectly with the Inca Deity earrings I bought from Flor's collection. And for me the large, easy to use clasp was a welcome extra.
