Yeah same here, @chrikelnel. I find that GA does two tone better than most and I usually like how they do it.

Very nice, just missing an emerald.

For anyone who got one, how wide is the ring for small or large? Bonus points if you're able to snap a comparison photo with a Frida ring.

Also, do you find this fits looser for a given size with the inner circumference being broken up in between the arms?

[IH-GARY]

@pechelman This is a beautiful piece in the flesh. I wear a large in this ring and the fit is perfect, sorry I can’t compare as I don’t wear any other rings. The design is quite clever in that it allows the heart to be worn comfortably in either direction as is tradition - seems to be more of an ‘oval’ fit to allow for this (see pic). Worth noting the inscription got dropped in production and replaced with GAH instead.

[pechelman]

Thanks @IH-GARY !
I was wondering about it being oval too. Are you able to take a measurement of the width between the top of what should be the crown to the bottom of the heart?

[IH-GARY]

@pechelman Do you mean this measurement?

[Matt]

It's really something. I think I'm too Italian and not Irish enough though.

Everybody is Irish on St. Paddy’s day…

[Matt]

Sure but that would be a pretty expensive day. March 18th might be St Divorce Lawyer's Day.

[pechelman]

@IH-GARY yea that's the one!
Thanks. Also does it fit any looser given the oval shape for the ring size you're used to on a regular ring?

[pechelman]

@Matt I've no Irish heritage either but really enjoyed a trip we took the a number of years back. I think anyone can relate or celebrate in their culture. Hopefully this wouldn't be considered cultural appropriation

[IH-GARY]

@pechelman OK, that measurement is 27mm.
This is my only ring, so I can't compare it to anything I'm afraid.
Mine is a size 8, I have fairly skinny figures and it fits perfect.

Almost two years of looking at this, finally got one. While this got offered too late to get here by St Patrick's, likely for the model 10 drop, it still got here in March. Decided to go for the size large after a bit of debate and help from Sunme. Having the large on hand I am curious how a small would wear.

Unsure if mine is a new version or not, it's marked with V2 and 1224, but they may have updated the design of the band a little from what is shown online. It's a bit more asymmetric with a dog leg that really only makes wearing the ring comfortable in the "I'm single" direction with the heart pointing outward. Also the inscription is still missing as @IH-GARY noted above.

Posting a few pics here should it help anyone else, the first courtesy of Sunme showing both sizes with a Frida, the second comparing my frida and large Nixon, and the last doing my best to mimic IH-Gary

Nice set up..

Irish ️ day

[IH-GARY]

@pechelman Great choice! I love mine for sure!
Your design looks like mine but the one sat on the leather pouch looks to have an updated crown design. Mine feels more comfortable in the single position but feels fine in reverse. For me if it didn’t have the dog leg the crown would protrude over the knuckle in the reverse position. That said it’ll only ever be worn in the single position anytime soon LOL!

[pechelman]

Too funny, Gary!

Being not Irish and wearing a normal wedding ring on my left hand should be pretty clear but I was hoping to at least partly honor the tradition and wear it the "I'm taken" direction on my right hand. When I wear it that way, the crown digs in very quickly to my finger.
