We bought this for our 13 year old daughter and I will agree with the other reviews that it is prettier in person than the computer picture. The amethyst is clear, not cloudy. The designs on the bands are also clear, they do not stand out on the computer picture. It's not a very big ring, I would call it dainty, but it will get noticed. We haven't had any issues with the stone, in fact, we've taken to get it sized just a little bit bigger as they do not come in half sizes and we've had not problems.
