I ordered this on October 31st. It is now 11/4. Very fast shipping. The ring overall is gorgeous. But it IS NOT a 16g. Its a 14g. To me this was a problem, for the rings I had in were 18 and I wanted to go up to 14 slowly. But I put them in anyway. They look great, a lot more shiny in person. The ball is confusing to use, I had to you tube it. Love it.
