After ordering over 12 different sterling silver & crystal or zirconia rings to both replace my stolen diamond & white gold engagement ring & find something I can wear for everyday without worry, I had just about given up. "Bling rings" on sale through Amazon, "Eve's Addiction", "Berricle" & even other Amazon curated all arrived looking fake, stones off-center, glue or white powder on them, unbelievably thick bands etc., etc.
Yesterday, I cautiously opened the Amazon envelope thinking another major disappointment that won't be worn (& I'm horrible about sending things back!). Instead, with the exception of the side stones having no fire at all, this ring is set perfectly, is almost a duplicate of my stolen ring, wouldn't be questioned by anyone unless they are looking closely at side stones (that's why one star off) & was a perfect size 6. The band is thin, but looks real & matches my white gold & diamond anniversary band. Center stone is definitely one carat & has plenty of fire & facets (& not so white that it doesn't reflect). I don't know how it will wear over time, but I was genuinely pleased-put on & wore out immediately. I love that the stone setting is a bit high for wearing a band beneath, but not so high that it catches on anything. I have rather small hands for a tall woman, but I have worn larger stones than this comfortably. It's how the band looks with the setting & stone that either overwhelms or looks great. This one is proportioned perfectly if you have hands/fingers that are a glove size between 5-7. Now, if I could only find an oval zirconia ring similiar! Suggestions anyone?
