I've worn this ring almost every day since receiving it, and have gotten some compliments, too.  The ring is a little on the gaudy side, but fun to wear.  As the stone is not polished, no one wold guess that it is a real ruby, also because it is so big.  For the money, it was a good buy because I do like it and wanted a large, red ring. If you're looking for elegance, look elsewhere, but if you want just a fun, unusual ring I can recommend this product.
