I wasn't expecting a lot of this ring. This is a beautiful ring. I am very surprised by the quality considering the price that I paid for it. The stone is much larger than I expected. I have some very expensive jewelry that I am always worried about wearing and knocking the stones out. This ring is beautiful, looks like a quality piece of jewelry, and I don't have to be worried about loosing it or knocking out the stone because I didn't spend a fortune on it. LOVE IT!
