This ring is very pretty if you are only looking at the top of it.  I really like all the detail and the stones, which have incredible sparkle.  However, the bottom side of the ring, which is just a plain, wide band, looks very cheap.  It is looks as if it just has a thin finish over a cheap metal - the finish is unnaturally shiny and almost looks like plastic.  I am always a little worried to wear it for fear the finish might chip or rub off.  So far the finish is intact, but I have only worn the ring perhaps a dozen times.
