I asked Santa for this ring for Christmas.  The ring arrived nicely packaged in a red organza (?) drawstring jewelry bag inside a simple, but nice jewelry box.  The stone is striking, but I think I would have been happier with a plainer, more classic setting.  Also, a size 6 or 6.5 might have fit better than the size (7) I ordered. This size 7 is a bit larger than another size 7 that I recently purchased from another vendor.  In any event, I do not intend to exchange this ring for a smaller size, because I really like this stone, and I may or may not like the stone in a replacement ring as well, as each stone is unique.  BTW, this ring also came with a certificate of authenticity.  Nice ring, beautiful stone.  If I were to order from this company again, which I may, I think I would go a size smaller.
