This ring is the perfect shade of gold (not too yellow/not too light). It has a bulky appearance, but it is NOT heavy. The dome part is 'sort of'' hollow, but by no means soft or weak in that area. Actually, it's pretty sturdy! I wear it on my middle finger. It is true to size. I suggest taking it off when using waterless hand sanitizers to prevent wearing off the gold. I've had it almost 2 months and am very pleased with it. It looks expensive (classic), but its real price is our secret!! I think you will be satisfied with this purchase if you are aiming for an expensive look, but lack the funds to invest in a real solid gold ring.
