This ring was delivered as described.  I tried on similar rings in local jewelry stores so I had some comparison for what .25 carats would look like.  I got it as an anniversary band to stack with my existing rings so I didn't want it to be too thick, but my wedding band is thick so I didn't want it too thin either. It is just right.  It could be worn as a right hand ring if you are looking for a thin "dainty" stand alone ring or would work well as a wedding band.  My engagement ring is a 3 stone ring (.75 center, .5 on each side) so it is difficult to find bands that complement it without taking away from it, I find this ring to be the perfect size, height and ctw.
It is a bit difficult to tell from the photos that there are 8 stones.  I'm impressed with the sparkle and diamond color, I would guess that the stones are better than the minimums described.  You certainly can't beat the price. I tried on a similar ring at a national chain that was $299 for .10 carats and this is much prettier overall.  I found that most local stores charged $500 for a .10 carat ring no matter the design. It came nicely packaged (the ring box was cool).  I knew I could return it for free if it wasn't what I wanted. I've looked at hundreds of rings both online and in person before choosing this one and I'm very pleased with my choice. My husband was pleased that I did all the work and just told him what to order, made anniversary shopping easy for him this year.
