They really are ugly and driving by them wihtout the 3 seconds of perfect lighting shown in the picture, you really have no idea what they are. The "diamond" if that is really what it is depicting is not even "mounted" right. I just assumed it was an ugly light fixture of some kind not art.

THIS IS STUPID! IT'S UGLY! This will only encourage people never to get married. It looks like the work of a bunch of sugar-high third graders. They should at least hang some swings from it and get some use out of it.

Artist should have taken up poetry and spared us the eyesore. Isn't it leaving out two other groups of couples?

There is nothing remotely creative about these rings, they look like they belong in front of a Robbins Brothers Store....onion...
