My fiance and I had been in search of the perfect ring. We knew we wanted Marquise cut, but were disappointed by the lack of selection and prices of this style. One day we were just browsing Overstock and found this ring. We bought it immediatly. The size of the ring is perfect and the shine is incredible. The first thing anyone says when they see it is how incredibly shiny it is. The ring looks beautiful and feels very strong and sturdy. We knew that we couldn't spend tons of money on a ring, but with this ring you are getting a lot of diamond for your money.
