"My boyfriend bought this for me and I knew that since each one differed that the one shown would be the prettiest. Although, since my size was unavailable I was a little emabarressed when I took it to my jewler to be resized and he told me that the band was NOT 14k gold but nothing better than malakite. I was dissapointed seeing I need to spend more on a gold band. The ring is still unique and I will keep it, I was just bummed that the band was so low quality and the ring being a pretty high price. The stone is a lot duller than the one shown, and my piece had little to no artistic shape, but almost a complete circle."
