The product picture is fairly accurate in terms of color in that the red crystal in my ring looks more like a dark garnet than a ruby. The rose gold metal color is very light so that it could be mistaken for yellow gold if you don't look at it closely. The red crystal in my ring has a small scratch on it which is why it only gets 4 stars. I am happy enough with the look and the price not to return it just because of the scratch.
