This is a sturdy, substantial ring, with a nice design, but the white sapphires on it are the most "flat" stones (milky in fact) that I've ever seen on any ring in my life.  At first I thought it was a defect of the stones or a reflection of their quality, but then read that white sapphires have little if any "fire". In this case my stones have absolutely no fire.  This same ring would be perfect with cz or diamonds, but with the stones it has I doubt I will ever wear it again and I would certainly not insult someone by giving it to them. I would have returned it but the cost of postage alone can go towards the purchase of another, better ring.
