This ring is very comfortable, with a thin band and the stone setting is not very tall,  It doesn't snag on my clothes.  I've seen it in fluorescent, incandescent, LED, and sun light.  There are distinctive colors, but I haven't found it getting as pink a purple as they show in the ad (fine by me!).  Mostly mine goes from a light violet to a darkish purple.  Sometimes it appears a bit blue.  Definitely good for folks who like delicate-looking jewelry, but I've worn it hard for a couple of weeks and it shows no signs of damage.  I love it.
