The amber is not dark as in the picture, it looks like yellow plastic with bubbles in it. The price has doubled since the first review, and it appears that the quality has decreased. I am very disappointed.  However, I am not returning it because I would have then paid as much in postage (for both ways) as the value of the ring. Postage paid already is almost half the value of the ring. Sigh. Well, this is what happens when you buy jewelry online, I guess.
