I love my ring! The band is very shiny & the Swarovski is clear & sparkles beautifully. So much nicer than I expected. I consider this a high quality cz ring. I personally cant tell the difference between my diamond solitaire and this ring. I love the size. It is smaller, at 0.25 carat, but a perfect delicate ring for me. I also bought a 0.50 carat 5 stone ring from the Amazon collection to wear with this one. They will be stunning together. I added a photo, please ignore my rough cut up hands. I like love this ring. Thank you.
