My daughter has recently read the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books. She asked if she could by one. I started researching and found many but reviews were poor quality. I eventually found Jens Hansen in someone’s review. They said pay the extra it’s worth it. I told her that this one was more than some but would last longer than the cheap ones. She decided to pay the extra and so far(one week in) she is very happy with her purchase. I agree, it appears to be a very high quality replica. It appears to be holding the writing well one week in, that was the major complaint in the reviews of other rings. They also sent great updates as to when it would be delivered.
