It's really hard to rate this ring because it is beautiful, sparkly, and a great price. However, I found that the band does not wear very well. Actually, it would be fine for someone who takes their rings on and off when they clean or do other household chores...or someone who only wears their jewelry when they go out. However, I am a person who wears my rings all the time, so I prefer rings that stand up to some abuse and still look nice when I clean them up. I have had this ring for about six months and, while the stones still look great, the band looks pretty bad when you look at it closely. The platinum plating also seems to wear off fairly quickly and somewhat unevenly. The best advice I can offer on deciding whether or not to purchase this ring is to consider how you plan to use it.
