Well We received the ring in a small box, I was exited to showed it to hubby.
When I open the box, even tho the ring was silver and had a good design and it also fit hubby's finger....it WASN'T AS SHINNY as I expected.
I had to literally place the ring into the  sun light to see if it shine..but it wasn't much for a contrast.
He how ever like the ring he said wasn't gaudy and flashy (which he doesn't wear flashy jewelry). So I suppose if he is happy that's what matters.
I would say the CZ look more like glass....oh he did mentioned that the stones look a bit loose but maybe was the way the were placed..... We will see if any stones fall....
The ring was a nice design but the stoles look like glass. :-(
