I have quite a bit of weight to lose after 2 babies so my wedding ring doesn't fit. I ordered this to have something cheap and temporary to wear in the meantime. I wasn't trying to buy a "realistic" sized ring. My view is I will never have a big diamond so why not have fun with this one. Because of that I think this ring is great. At first glance my friends think it's real but I'm not trying to convince anybody it is. It's not as sparkly as a real diamond although it does have some sparkle to it in the right light. I think it's a very attractive ring and is prettier than the picture. I did have an idea how big it would be in person thanks to the user who posted pictures of it on his fiance's finger. The downside is I wish they offered half sizes since I need a 7.5 and the 8 is a bit big and twirls around. But it's nothing I can't live with. If you are thinking of buying this as your permanent wedding ring I'm not sure I would recommend it, but for my purposes or if you want something to go on vacation with, I think it's perfect. Just keep in mind that it WILL be noticied because of its size :-) Also, I ordered it late on a Thursday and it got here early Monday morning,so I was happy with the shipping speed as well.
