while I do not own this ring -lrb- but I soon will -rrb- , I have see it in person and it be indeed a lovely ring . the picture do not do it any justice . and as a previousl reviewer indicate - you can not tell if it be a sapphire , etc. . when it hit the light there be so many different color to this ring ... simply gorgeous ! and it can definitely hold it be own against more costly ring !
