I’d be too scared to wear a ring with that many small diamonds in

 

[AprilBaby]

Sorry , ugly.

 

[RetroQT]

To me this is a case of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

 

[Cerulean]

What it reminds me of

bleck, needs some color.

What it reminds me of

You’re spot on! From the article:

The creation of the ring began with its design which the team decided to base on the pink oyster mushroom.

"The mushroom represents immortality and longevity," explained Abdul Gafur Anadiyan, Managing Director at SWA Diamonds.

 

[DejaWiz]

" OK, we've mounted 24,679 diamonds to this fungus-themed ring...can we get one more on there?"

"Nope, there's not mushroom."

id wear it as a hair ornament

id like to wear it on my wrist like an old fahoned corsage but we'd loose that world record in no time that way

IMO that's the most gaudy piece of jewelry I've ever seen.
If the diamonds are real and set in a precious metal, that's even worse.
Do all 24, 679 diamonds have GIA reports?

Just imagine how much hairspray and hand lotion that thing could hold.

But I'd bet someone is gonna buy it, and love it.
I'd expect to see it worn by someone on that People of Walmart website.

And the knock-offs that will be undoubtedly sold. Easily found in the produce aisle.

Looks like a pot-scrubber. No, wait -- spouse has one of those hanging in the shower. I knew it looked familiar.

It does not work as a ring for me, however, I would probably wear it as a cuff!

Lol I am going to clearly get crucified for this, but I like it! I do think it doesn’t work that well as a ring because it’s big and difficult to wear and I’d prefer it as a cuff, but I love nature inspired jewelry. If I had 95k to spare I’d go for it!

I think I would like it better if each stone was a bit bigger and there were less of them, because I just think that sparkles better. And the stones at the “base” under the flower are wasted anyway. So those could go. But idk. Everyone here thinks it’s hideous, but as a cuff or a brooch I think it would be lovely.

 

[Missie1]

This is definitely just for bragging rights because it’s hideous

Lol I am going to clearly get crucified for this, but I like it!...

I'll start a GoFundMe account for the nails and wood.

Hey, maybe all the hoopla will ignite the next big religion.

I absolutely hate this. I find the mushroom is still somewhat attractive, this looks like an alien eye more than a marigold. Doesn’t look anything like a marigold tbh.

There was an in between one - which was a camellia. But the mushroom is actually the prettiest of the lot.
