- 0***f (4871)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseYears ago when my son was born, I tried to find different items that would engage his interest. This little ring came into my possession. I put it on his finger. But I also used a ribbon to entice his interest further. My main goal was to get a perfect picture of him wearing it. A traveling photographer was at my house that day. His comment? "Your Mommy already has someone in mind for him."
