since we be a family of non-yellow gold and allergic reaction to various metal , I purchase this for a young girl . the band be of sterling silver and quality make -lrb- do not bend or oxidize -rrb- . the heart-shaped Cubic Zirconia be set in well within the prong so as not to worry about it come loose . it come in a heart-shaped jewelry box and the ring be keep there when not in use . I purchase it at a great price at the time . overall , the small investment for this gifted ring be worth every penny .
