I purchase this ring during my pregnancy when my finger be too swollen to wear my real engagement ring . to a casual observer , the ring look real , the stone have a nice sparkle , the setting be secure , and the band -lrb- although slightly lighter weight than gold would be -rrb- be attractive and a good simulation of white gold . the product description say it be between 0.925 and 1 carat , but in actuality it look about 1.3 carat . I have only own it for a week , so I can not speak to how it wear long term , but I work in a hospital and wash my hands\/use hand gel multiple time per hour and so far it still look great . also , you can not beat the price . would definitely recommend .
