I spent DAYS looking through every London Blue Topaz ring out there before I settled on this one. After reading others reviews- I thought I would risk it. First off- my ring was here within 3 days!!! :) Great shipping! Then when I saw it- I fell in love. The silver is shiny and bright- and the stone is GORGEOUS. The photo listed of it does not do it justice. Each facet of each cut is sharp and shines in the light. The color is a medium blue- which can look lighter in bright light or sunlight. Immediately I thought of the sea when I looked at. This is a beautiful, well made ring and looks MUCH more expensive than it is. Guys- if you are looking for a gift that is a sure win- this is it!!!!
