It is a cute ring, not as beautiful as it appears on the picture but the amethyst stone is a deep purple, doesn't sparkle a lot but the cute little stones on the side do sparkle.

Mom liked it so I gave it to her for her birthday.

I am only giving it 4 stars because the ring is not accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, non of the jewelry I bought from/through Amazon came with certificate of authenticity which was very disappointing as it leaves room for doubt about the product...did I really get a genuine amethyst or just a purple CZ.
