This ring is truly amazing. It's smaller than the picture (which is a good thing) but is big enough to notice the CZs. It is quite shiny (vibrant) and it goes well with a one stone engagement ring. I took a chance on getting this for my fiancee and she was very happy with it. The inside of the ring is beveled which is a nice. Adds some depth and dimension to it. The stones are secure, however I would have liked the edges of the ring to protrude inward a little more to add even more protection for the stones. But that's just being picky. Overall, great ring for the price definitely 5 stars!
