I bought this ring because I travel a lot and I don't want to wear my real engagement ring as it is all diamonds. I wanted something with color.  Amethyst is my husbands birthstone, so this ring was perfect because purple happens to be my favorite color and the two diamonds on the side are they perfedt amount of shimmer.  I didn't want something flashy that would cause attention in foreign counties.

This ring looks exactly like the picture. The purple color isn't too dark and isn't too light, it is just the right shade.
I didn't give a full 5 stars because there is no weight to it  it DOES feel cheap, however, it is still a very nice looking ring.
