Beautiful quality ring. This ring is certainly worth the 78. list price. It's not as large as I expected. The center stone is approximately 6mm or 1cttw, and 4 prong set. It has a slightly raised crown, so the profile is attractive, too.  Surrounding the center stone, and the shoulders are paved stones.  In spite of the product description, this ring is about 2cttw. It's absolutely beautiful.  The style is great. The stones have great depth, brilliance, fire and sparkle. The sparkle and fire are blinding. The paved set stones are white. The center stone is clear. The clarity and color is flawless.

The platinum plating is done very well and the solid silver is weighty.  Three grams of silver is a good weight for a ring. The band is not hollowed out. It feels very smooth and comfortable to wear. The stones are set securely and the workmanship is excellent.  This ring is not top heavy, or chunky looking, but the metal is weighty.  It's very elegant.

I didn't purchase to use as an engagement ring.  I purchased because it's beautiful jewelry...and I'm a nut for jewelry. It looks grand alone, but I also paired it with a simple eternity band and that looks great, too.

Now, for the stones.  I didn't purchase for a diamond look, but that exactly what it looks like; however, it appears like a flawless-D color diamond.  Actually, flawless diamonds look fake to the average eye, because they are rare and so much more brilliant than the average, good quality, diamond. Most people have never seen a flawless diamond. When I worked at Neiman Marcus, I saw one only once.  If purchasing, just know it sparkles like crazy, has a ideal cut, perfect color and perfect clarity.  If wanting believeability, it may be too perfect for eyes that have only seen good average diamond.  Let me put it another way; when I'm seen wearing while opening the door to my beat up old car, nobody will assume I'm wearing diamond.  If a celeb or person known to have wads of cash was seen wearing this same ring, nobody would assume it isn't diamond.  Either way, it's a beautiful ring.
