I love big rings - this was just right; not too big as to be ostentatious, but big enough not to get lost on my finger.  I don't like small pearls...they're too dainty to be hidden away by too much metal.  This ring sits up high on the finger, so that may be a concern for some - I will most likely wear this when going out somewhere, not as an every day ring for that reason.  I like it very much, it looks very good and not cheap.
