My new ring came today, and I love it. The pearl is definitely a respectable size. I've never had silver and gold together in the same piece of jewelry, however, the gold knot is the perfect setting, and brings out the luster of the pearl. The tiny diamonds lend a little twinkle in just the right light. The ring is exactly as pictured. If you need a ring to wear with your pearl necklace occasionally, go for this one!
