I love this ring, I get compliments all the time--I just smile and say "Thanks!" As other reviewers have said, it has great sparkle and clarity, but on top of that, it has held up well.  I've worn it nearly every day for two years now, and as long as it's clean, it looks as good as new.  It doesn't tarnish even though the platinum is just plating. The plating has worn off most other plated jewelry I've owned, causing them to look worn out and tarnished, or leaving my finger with a gray stain.  Not this one!  On top of that, I've worn this ring everywhere, and I am a very active person. I am constantly losing stones out of my jewelry, but the posts on this ring have held up perfectly, and I've never had to worry about losing the stones.  For the price, this ring is a no-brainer!
