Most of my jewelry is antique in design so I was hoping to have discovered a company that could add to my collection. My expectations of the synthetic stone color was it would possibly be lighter than the photo, but the product I received had a stone with a hardly visible pale pink hue.  Also the quality of the cut was not as detailed as the photo, which was a strong selling point for me.  Since this is made in China, I would write that off as a quality control issue.  Since I've purchased better designed costume jewelry for the price, I would not purchase from this company again unless they improve their quality control.
