I initially had my heart set on a princess cut, but was lucky enough to stumble on this set. I was so intrigued with the style, it was unique and well below our budget. I ordered it expecting it to be an adequate set, but was pleasantly surprised to open the box and see that it exceeded my expectations.
Most of overstock's diamonds seem to be listed with some inclusions, and I figured that if I stayed with a smaller sized diamond it wouldn't be as noticeable. The 1/3 carat center stone is much better than I expected, and while it has the tiny-est little carbon fleck, it is not noticeable unless you are actively looking for it. The surrounding diamonds, as well as the diamonds down the ring, shine from every angle.
The head that holds the center stone is a little more detailed than pictured, which I like. Also, my biggest concern while ordering was with the band itself, in the picture it almost looks like aluminum. But it is solid, well built, the prongs are symmetrical, and much better than the picture represents. The bands sit very well and flush together, no gapping at all.
Before I purchased it, I found a 10percent off coupon on e b a y. That, combined with the already low price, makes me feel like I stole the set. I revel in the fact that I got an amazing deal on a gorgeous set that blew my expectations out of the water. I would choose this feminine, unique set again over all the sets we were looking at that were 2-3 times the price.
