I purchased the gold and ruby ring in Dec of 2004; I loved it from the moment I saw it. I purchased it to replace the original wedding ring my husband gave me, (long story, it was picked out for another woman and he said I could buy a different one later on). So I bought this because I've always liked the look of rubies and diamonds together, I was not dissappointed by this ring. I have accidently hit it hard against things without the loss of a stone (knock on wood). It is beautiful and elegant looking and quite unique, which I like. I wish they made one with a bigger ruby center-stone and larger diamonds encircling it. I thought the price for this was a great bargin. Usually you get what you pay for, but so far Overstock can sell quality for less, that's why I continue to shop with them. Maybe the woman who complained about losing a stone should go to a different jeweler or talk to Overstock and allow them the chance to make it right.
