I really like this ring! It looks at least as pretty as in the picture, and I appreciate that it comes in size 5, wish more Amazon rings did! It is petite/delicate, which I like, but I wouldn't call it microscopic. For me, the size is just right. I don't usually care for bulky/gaudy jewelry so I guess it's a personal preference. It's not going to be as nice or durable as a ring that costs hundreds or thousands, of course, but for $25 it's very nice. It's not so cheap looking that I don't want to wear it, like some in this price range. The plating hasn't worn off mine yet, but I also don't wear it all the time or get it wet, etc, as I know this type of jewelry will discolor, unlike solid gold or platinum, which again would be far more expensive. One of my favorite pieces of "cheap" jewelry.
