I bought this ring on Thursday and it got to me in NC from California by Saturday. I couldn't believe it. It was so shiny and pretty, I couldn't wait to put it on. The picture doesn't do it justice. The ring I ordered was too small but instead of sending it back (which was my original plan) I decided to give it to my mom for her birthday and she loves it. Now I'm going to order another one in a larger size and get some other colors too!
