Like most others, I was also skeptical about buying something this costly online, but after my fiance and I made our decision, we were more than pleased when the ring arrived. The ring has a modern look to it because the setting is lower than most other 3-stones rings, and the band is a bit wider than the average ring. We have shopped at several jewelry stores, and we found that most 1 ct ring were above the price listed for this ring. The stones are very white inside with normal lighting. When it is in dimmed light or in the sun light, the ring gives off a whole lot of sparkles and shimmered with different colors! These are definitely great for the price! The only thing I can fault about the ring I purchased is that at the right lighting, you can see that one stone is a bit duller than the other two stones, but this is normal considering the grade of the diamonds. There is no visible inclusions to the naked eye. If you have small fingers, the diamonds appear larger; put together, they look bigger than 1 ct. Only at O will you find this kind of deal, and that is why my fiance and I will be purchasing our wedding band here as well! In my opinion, this ring looks a lot better than many of the rings I've seen, including the ones that my friends wear! Good luck shopping!
