I couldn't believe the initial quality of this ring. I thought it might look cheap but it is well made,The stone is perfect not too big and the color is a nice deep red  .I don't know how it will hold up Thats why I only gave it 4 stars. I will update this review in the future. UPDATE, Well I have worn this ring everyday for a couple of months now and It looks great. The gold is holding up nicely. I wish they had an emerald stone I would buy one. I decided to add another star. I love the ring.
