10k White Gold Diamond Promise Ring (K,I1)

My boyfriend surprised me with this promise ring for our anniversary. I had been looking at several rings and this turned out to be exactly what I was hoping for. The ring is dainty and cleverly designed. The picture of the ring on the site is not to scale, understand that the photo is magnified so you can see the quality of the stone. The stone itself is actually about the size of a pin head, however do not let this discourage you. The gold setting comes up around "real" setting and actually has 8 prongs. It's hard to tell from the magnified photo even, but there are 4 prongs on the outside corners that hold "nothing" then the 4 prongs in the center actually holding the diamond itself. This design lends well to the overall appearance of the ring because it gives the illusion of the diamond itself being bigger. [I'm not talking huge though here ppl!] The gold is nice and shiny and the band is a nice thickness. My best advice for anyone considering this ring is to remember, this is a PROMISE ring, expect it to be smaller than you actually think it looks like in the photos. The diamond it self has inclusions and definitely lends on the yellow side, however the ring is cleverly designed to minimize this. If you're looking for an engagement ring, this isn't it. If you're looking for a beautiful, dainty, promise ring/anniversary/birthday gift for your special someone, this is perfect. I am so pleased to have received it. He really did well.

I received the ring just now. Looking at the photo here, the setting appears to take up much of the ring which it does not. The diamond is small as I expected. However, be aware that the diamond is not colorless -- it has a significant yellow hue to it which is expected (it's listed as K). Under bright lights, I'm not able to get much of a fiery sparkle out of it. Unfortunately the prongs do a good job at obscuring the stone. The ring does look quite sturdy though. No chance of anything falling apart or out. But, you do get what you pay for. It is a diamond going for a low price. I'd say a good choice if you want a good-priced ring that happens to have a diamond in it.
