First of all, I have to say that I am very picky when it comes to jewelry, it is very hard for me to find anything in a jewelry store that really "rocks" me, never mind if I am purchasing online "sight unseen". This ring is particularly special, my Gramother died less than a week ago, she meant the world to me & her passing is very difficult, so my husband decided that he wanted to purchase me a ring with her birthstone (January, the Garnet) & my birthstone (April, the Diamond) in honor of her life & the special bond we shared...it would have to be a pretty special ring to fit this bill, especially since I wear only white gold.......
Well, he did it! AND on the first try! This amazing ring FAR exceeded my expectations! The 3.1 carat faceted oval Garnet stone is GORGEOUS! And the PERFECT size & color! It is large enough to make a bold statement, but it does not "over-power" or appear "cocktail" size. The color resembles a deep red/merlot wine, with no orangey undertones, it is not thick & dense due to the excellect facet cuts along the sides of the stone & the setting, it reflects light & sparkles beautifully. The diamonds are also the perfect color, I was concerned when I read it was only 1/5th of a carat, but the diamond weight/stone size turned out to be exactly what I was hoping for,they have a strong "presence", but they do not over power the center stone, they frame it flawlessly. Another concern I had was what was listed as the diamonds color, to my surprise & delite the diamonds are CLEAN & WHITE & to the naked eye appear to be more in the H color VS range, LOL! The setting is regal & the gold is very thick & substantial. HIGH QUALITY STONES,THICK HEAVY GOLD,FLAWLESS WORKMANSHIP & CLASSIC DESIGN! I give this a 100 out of 100! I will never take this ring off & I know that it is strong enough for daily wear unlike alot of jewelry,this is truly and "heirloom" quality ring. THANK YOU OVERSTOCK !!!!!!
