I really like this ring, especially for the price. It's unusual. It's a pretty stone, but doesn't have enouph kalidoscoping colors, or sparkle, to make it look fake. The fact that the top of the stone isn't faceted makes it look more real, which apparantly it is, and gives it more class. It's such a deep stone that I enjoy looking down into the depths, which I couldn't do if the top were faceted. Since I've been warned about the stone falling out, I'll just add a touch of glue to the bottom.
