I've had this ring for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely adore it! It's not too big, nor too small. My husband bought it for me (well, he let me order it) as an Easter gift. My birthsone is sapphire and his is amethyst, and this Simulated Tanzanite is the perfect color for both! It actually DOES look blue sometimes and on other times looks violet (purple)!! Thank you, Victoria for such a lovely ring! My first from your collection, but, it definitely won't be my last!
