I purchased this beautiful ring for my sister's Christmas present.  I am very pleased with the purchase:  Packaging is classy and attractive, the cubic zirconia is very sparkly and the metal work is intricate and shiny.  The pearl is not as intensely lavender as the picture indicates, which is why I am rating this 4 stars instead of 5.  Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase and I can't wait to give it to my sister.  She'll love it!
