I purchased this ring because I liked the stone.  It arrived nicely boxed.  The setting's nice, but I would have preferred a classic, plainer setting.  I don't think the stone really needs all the embellishment, but that's a matter of personal taste. I purchased a size 7, but I think a size 6.5 would have been a better fit, but I don't recall having a choice regarding half sizes.  This ring is among the items I chose for myself for my husband to purchase for me for
Christmas, and I am very happy with the ring, and the stone is lovely.
