Just as shiny (maybe more) as is pictured!  I got 2 of these to surround a stainless sparkly (kinda Pave looking) ring I got from Amazon.  I enjoy the contrast in textures.  Anyway, they were perfect!  True to size too.  Now, I wear a size 10 ring.. and the sparkly one is almost 6mm, so that's about 10mm of ring on one finger.  If you're looking for a more delicate version, Amazon does offer smaller sizes.
