I bought this ring on a whim because it was really cheap and it seemed to do well, not just illusion ... I have not been disappointed but I'm really very happily surprised rendering and the quality of this gem. It is absolutely beautiful, and frankly, even after several weeks bringing it day and night, it shines as always, has lost none of its luster, and the people I meet still mistake and taken to a "real" diamond ring !!! I advise to all men as a small gift to their love, or as mothers holiday gift for your mom, or ... to please you just! A purchase whim became a favorite purchase I do not regret that seems increasingly made to last!
