I lost my pearl ring that I'd been wearing for ages, and looking for an affordable replacement turned to amazon. The ring isn't exactly what I expected (the pearl is a bit bigger than I imagined, and not round. The bottom is flat so it looks kind of like a rounded button, if that makes sense). I was slightly disappointed at first because I was hoping for a small, round pearl, but after wearing this ring for a few days I grew to love it. The band is very unique and the ring itself is beautiful, I'm always getting compliments on it. I wore it almost daily for months and no scratches or tarnishing in sight. It's cute and affordable addition to your collection, why not?
