I want a pink ring , and for the price , I could not argue with this . it be a nice ring , it be pretty and it fit well . I immediately think when I take it out of the box that it be plastic and not metal . I can not really attest to the quality of the band , and I do not have a problem with metal so I can not tell you there either . the stone be a clear light pink and it be pretty . I would not call it really sparkly . it have a nice , clear look , but it do not have a ton of sparkle . but . . what do you want for $ 8 ? I be not head over heel , but I be not disappointed either . it be nice for the cost . if you want something cheap for everyday use , or something for a younger girl that will look pretty but be cheap , this be a good choice . definitely classier than what you find for the same price at a big-box store . -lrb- Update -rrb- the ring be cute , but be careful with it . I be not sure what happen to mine , but I come upon it one day totally crushed and bent , and unable to be fix . the metal be just that thin and cheap that it can easily be bent out of shape . I have never have that happen before to a ring . I 'll be replace it with a different pink ring . lower from 4 star to 3 .
