I bought this ring for my mom's 60th birthday to try and match the set (earrings and necklace) that my dad got for her from another place. The ring arrived on time, it's very elegant and beautifully made, and even though the pearl looks darker than on the picture - it's a perfect match for the earrings my mom got! She loved the ring, it fits her perfectly and she already got compliments on it. It's such a great value for the money! I looked in local stores but could not find anything cheaper than $300. We are very pleased!
