I love this ring . it be , however , the second time in less than a year that I order one . I feel it should be mention that the ring be delicate and can break if accidentally hit against a hard surface . I do not know if it be genuine or synthetic since both word be mention in the description . it do not matter much , though , because the ring be inexpensive and beautiful . the picture do not come close to how pretty it really be . I break it by clap my hand and it hit another ring on the other hand during a Bears playoff game !
