At first I was a little hesitant to order this ring because of the low price, the gold around the stone (I'm not a big fan of gold any more), and my bad luck in the past of receiving poor quality jewlery ordered online.  But, I am so glad I did because this ring is stunning!  I really don't know how they did it for the low price.

Previously I bought 1 ring for double this price & 1 ring for almost triple this price online which were no where as nice as this ring - and both were immediately returned.  Every piece was pictured and/or described as a deep purple but instead of a true purple I received a light lavender stone.  But, the Amethyst stone in this ring is a true purple just like the picture!  I also love the sparkle of the White Topaz - they can easily pass for Diamonds.  The gold around the stone does not seem as pronounced as the picture, but adds a nice touch.  The silver and setting is also very nice.  Not shown in the picture is the scroll work.  On the sides of the setting holding the Amethyst it almost looks like a sideways S or 8.  And directly under the stone the scroll work looks like a modern flower pattern.  A very nice unexpected detail.

I ordered this ring for a friend as b-day present - she absolutely loves it.  And, I couldn't stop wearing it before I gave it to her, so I had to order one for myself too.  The size 6 had a tag that it was made in Thailand, but the size 7 had a tag from China.

I absolutely LOVE this ring !!!
