The stones were not as clear as some reviewers described. You could definitely tell that this was a fake ring due to the cloudiness of the stones.  The metal was very nice and looked great BUT there were a few prongs that seemed to be longer than others and would catch on all my sweaters and even scratched my daughter a few times. I would have kept the ring if it wasn't for the uneven/sharp prongs. Also, some of the stones seemed to be placed unevenly.
