This ring is exactly as described. I love how shiny it is! It is hard to find a tanzanite ring for this price! I also loved the range of sizes available (at least there were when I picked it out, not sure about now). What is nice about that is because most entries for rings are a specific ring with a specific size. That means if I find one I want, then I have to go looking for the right size, too. This ring also comes in larger than most rings (the "average" size is a 7, and I wear a 10 or greater on my ring and middle fingers because of swelling due to medications. I am really pleased with this purchase. The rings also could stack, so at this price, I might get more or a different color!
