Nice ring, you get what you pay for. The color changes from gray to purple to aquamarine (I was surprised too!) but after wearing for a month, the ring started to get a bit cloudy and lost its shine. I think maybe the stone is soft and doesn't hold up well to even light wear and tear, as I take the ring off if I think the ring will get damaged or in the way. I like this ring for myself, but wouldn't re-buy or recommend.
