YSL Arty Oval Ring in Brass and Wood

Hey everyone, here is my latest splurge for the month. I decided to get this lovely, instead of purchasing more makeup.

I looked online for more photos of the Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Oval arty Ring in Brass & Wood. The oval arty rings are unique in themselves and highly loved... The brass & wood is even more unique, each ring has a different piece of actual wood which makes each ring have a different face. I was unsure what I would get as I purchased mine from YSL.com













What it looks like on the ring finger:





What it looks like on the middle finger:
