I had actually seen the ring in the website before it was ordered, and I was a bit afraid it wouldn't be what I was expecting. And it wasn't.... It is much better in person than what it looks in the picture. If you like big and shiny, I highly recommend this ring... After my fiance gave me the ring, I went and got an appraisal for it and the price they gave me was way higher than what the cost was... Again,... beautiful engagement ring.... Love it
