I purchased this ring, but returned it and replaced it with a yellow gold 3-stone aquarmarine ring instead.  Having said that, this sterling silver ring was very nice.  I was really pleased with the quality of the aquamarine - it was clear and had good color (pale sky blue).  The diamond chips circling the center stone are extremely tiny.  The only reason I returned this ring was that the setting stood up a bit higher than I had hoped it would (there wasn't a good side view of the ring to judge this beforehand).  Good ring for the price.
