This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I have ever seen.  I have plenty of the "real" stuff, but in all honesty, I wouldn't be any prouder to wear it than I am to wear this!  People stare.......People admire......makes me smile!!!!  ;)  I don't know if it will ever lose it's brilliance or color, but someone is just not telling the truth if they say it isn't worth the price!  I would have expected to pay a lot more for what I had gotten!  I simply love it!!  And I got it right away... What more can I say???  Well Done!!!!
