I was looking for a chocolate pearl ring to match some cultured freshwater pearls and had stopped to look at this one several times.  Not being familiar with "shell pearl" I decided to first order a pair of stud earrings.  They were beautiful and matched my Honora chocolate pearls beautifully.  So, I decided to give this ring a try to just to have something to match.  My goodness was I stunned when I opened the box.  They are a perfect match to my other chocolate pearl pieces.  The ring is shiny sterling with this huge 12mm pearl in the hugging type setting.  It is just beautiful.  I have "real" pearl rings that cost many times over what this one did and this is indeed comparable to any others I own.  I am now on the hunt for any of the other colors in this ring. Packaged in blue velvet jewelry bag inside black box.  Nice for gift giving.
UPDATE:  I have worn this ring several times and it still looks brand new as do the matching earrings which I have worn a dozen or more times.  No scratches!  I liked both so much that I ordered them to give as a Christmas gift.  I have received the second ring and it is just as beautiful as the first and so are the earrings.  The price is phenomenal for such a lovely sterling ring.
