I placed the order at 10:20 PM on the night of the 25th, got the shipping notification email just after 1 PM yesterday, & got this ring around 6 PM tonight.  I was speechless!  According to the email I received from Amazon, it stated that I should've gotten it between August 31st to September 3rd, so they went above & beyond my expectations with the shipping.

The ring itself came in a small square red box with a piece of grey foam on top of it to protect the amber.  Some are saying a piece of black foam was holding the ring upright, but in my case, it was a piece of white foam.  The picture is exactly what it looks like.  I fell in love with it instantly.  The amber catches the light beautifully, & in some instances, it looks like there's a bit of glitter within the stone.  (The "glitter" is actually air bubbles trapped within the stone.)  It's utterly fascinating to watch in the light.  The piece itself is extremely well made, & the silver detail is what you'd expect.  I thought the raised crown was exactly what the ring needed because it'd look somewhat flat without it.  But make no mistake: it's all about the amber with this ring.

The fit of the ring was true to size.  I bought the size 9, & as I expected, it's a bit loose on my right ring finger (where I usually wear my rings), but it fits my right middle finger perfectly.  The ring also tapers at the bottom for a more comfortable fit.  The company's photos show the widest part, but it's still very sturdy.  (I've uploaded 11 pictures to the gallery, so you can see what my ring--& the card that came with it--looked like.)
