I bought this piece of jewelry for my family and it looked very nice on the Amazon database. Since I am a careful buyer, I read all the reviews on this Sterling Silver Emerald ring. Many of the reviews were positive and I decided to try it. When it arrived, I was stunned! The jewelry was well made, fashionable and not cheap looking. I can't buy real Emeralds for my family but I must tell you that this is a beautiful ring and looks authentic!
