I am happy to say that this gift came much quicker than I thought it would.  The size is deceiving. I put it next to something I thought was much bigger, and was suprised it was the same size.  This is why I sent the picture with another piece of jewelry bought at the same time.  When you put it on though it looks great and a decent size.  Ruby is an expensive item compared to other jems, so the jems that are included are not very reflective.  The item is a great buy and will be appropriate for my preteen.  I think I would not mind owning this piece myself.  I do recommend the item for size and price.
