I read a lot of reviews on this ring and decided to take a chance.  I got it specifically for the stones.  They really sparkle with a higher brilliance than most cubics.  I ordered my usual size which turned out to be just right.  It is of quality metal and construction and is easy to wear (it doesn't catch on clothing, etc.  However, I don't wear it while doing household chores, gardening, etc.)  A beautiful ring.  :) Thanks, Amazon!
