I ordered this ring based on all the wonderful reviews. I was disappointed when I saw it in person. Firstly, the ring looks dullish, and not sparkly and 'real' as some others said. Secondly, being a fair-skinned person, the ring looks washed out on my finger. (It makes my hand look pale.)  Perhaps this ring is good for a young person -such as a person in their teens (maybe for a teen boyfriend to give to a teen girlfriend etc.)  However, for someone more sophisticated, this ring just doesn't cut it.  I would also not recommend this ring for a fair skinned person. It may look better on someone with darker skin.
