This ring is perfect if you understand rough cut stones. The stone is very large and a deep blue color. The ring has a great presence on the hand.  Keep in mind that it is not a "clean" stone and will have visible flaws - but if it was a perfect 7 ct sapphire, it would be at least $50K!  I love it because it has the feel of an estate/heirloom piece.  I think it is a lovely and unique ring.  It's a lot of ring for the money :)
