The picture makes it look more balanced than the actual product itself is.  The band is thin and very pretty.  Where it lost me is that the stone is too big for the thin band so it really looks tacky.  Sorry to have to say that but it's true.  I bought it for my daughter, in her twenties, she wears coordinating jewelry to go with her outfits and I thought this would be perfect ... but when I actually saw it I couldn't give it to my daughter as a gift. It's actually sitting in my bookcase and not quite sure what I will do with it.
