I teach 3rd grade in a public school, so there's no way anybody would believe I could afford a real ring such as this.  My husband is as tight as Dick's hatband, so there's no way anybody would believe that he would buy me a real ring like this.  Even so, this ring is well made, sparkly, and scary real!  I had ordered the regular rather than petite, which I returned.  The setting was just too large for my taste.  The petite is the perfect size for casual or cocktail applications.  I also ordered the matching pendant and earrings for a complete set.  I bought it for my golden retriever to give me for Christmas (she was pissed the cat outdid her the year before) so I can only hope it continues to hold up well under moderate wear.  So far so good:)
