I got this ring because it is MY birthstone! I have had it since December 2010. I have got many comments on the ring! Some people thought that it was a yellow diamond, buy the way it sparkles; and not it's color. If the sun catches it, little rainbows shoot around the room. It is very pretty;you should not pass on this; (I do not know what ring the people that complained got because the ring looks just like the picture).
