Nice ring!
I bought myself this ring for my Feb. birthday. It arrived well before the estimated arrival date & was presented in a cute little box tied with a ribbon, good enough for gift giving. Upon opening, the color of the stone is a nice rich purple, definately not as light as shown in the photo, even in bright sunlight with white paper placed behind it. Although each stone can vary in intensity, this stone really catches the light and you can see small glints of red, blue and white as you move the stone, very dynamic. Also the cut of the Amethyst is completely different that in the photo. The photo shows more of an Asscher or Radiant cut, the one I received was the normal old round cut, not bad at all, but not what I was expecting. The amethyst it self is a rounded square shape. The 4 diamonds are itty bitty but you can see them if you look hard enough! They are located not in the 4 corners where I assumed they'd be, but in the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions mid-halo. The sterling silver of the band is a nice thickness with a high polish, not thin or weak, but we'll see! I found no immediate flaws with the item and it's really a sparkler. Just the right size as well, large enough to look direct from the jewelry store but not gaudy. I am satisfied and happy I purchased it! I gave it only 4 stars as it was different than the photo, but not in anyway worse :)
