After reading the reviews on this ring I wasn't expecting such a beautiful ring. Every time I wear it someone compliments me on it. I just got back from a Cruise today and wore it everyday. I received compliments in the dining room, the casino, every where I went someone paid me a compliment. That say's alot to me. People notice the brilliant true tanzanite color, cut and large size. I told everyone where I purchased it, so, if your thinking about buying one you better do so now cause I know several ladies who will be purchasing one by weeks end. As a matter of fact, I am purchasing 2 more for my daughters as Christmas gifts.
