It never said there was a painted  SILVER ring around three face. It was intended for a  bathroom with entirely brass  fixtures and gold framed pictures. It never said anywhere it had silver on it so  I can’t use it there. Since if had white foam wrapping I could not see the silver so box and papers were  destroyed in opening. So it sits in a shelf. I have nothing in my whole condo and trained in interior design at two colleges but I can’t use it but no bill of price I accepted  it. Never dreamed it would have that on it. I just want the same size clock in all white. Room is blue and white toile with brass and gold fixtures etc. It just wasn’t what it said which  was white. Sorry I was so didsappointed!
