I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ring... I was not going to order it bases on someone else's review that it would be good for a preteen.. I was thinking oh it must be really small or something.  I ordered it anyways (I don't mind small rings) and was surprised at how beautiful it is!  It's not small at all!  and I actually think it would look a little strange on a preteen (preteen being something like 10-12 years old)  it's a very grown up looking ring that is just amazing.  love it.
