Overall, this ring is absolutely beautiful and looks way better than it does in the image. I was afraid that those lines on the side of the ring were going to be too ugly, but they're actually pretty shallow and smooth. I love the aquamarine because it's not too blue--just a hint of blue. What I love most about this ring is that it's elegant but not too flashy. If you're not a stickler for flashy, big rocks, I think this is a very economical option for expensive rocks. For $25.99 and free 2-day shipping, I got a ring that looks like it could be more expensive. Now of course, don't try to knuckle punch anyone or scratch glass with it because it's not a diamond on platinum--it's an aquamarine on sterling silver. It won't be anywhere as shiny or as durable as its more expensive counterparts.
