This is very beautiful and extremely close to the ring portrayed.  My birthstone is Garnet & I wanted a 2nd ring. I have one garnet ring that my husband gave me years ago.  But now that I'm older, I'm trying to figure what jewelry to "leave" to what child. With three daughters and seven granddaughters, it's hard to keep things "even".  But, I must, or they'll be a war :-)  Two of my granddaughters are January babies, but with only one garnet ring, I "smelled trouble". Therefore, I ordered this so I'd have one for each girl. Actually, it's prettier than the one my husband gave me.  Now the problem is which granddaughter gets the prettiest ring!  Yet, I do hope I'll be around a lot longer so I can wear and enjoy it myself!  Five stars go to this little beauty!!

PS:  The reason I don't buy/give nice rings to my granddaughters now is because they are too young.  I want them to be old enough to care for jewelry and not lose it. That's why I'm saving this and other items for later.
