After purchasing another created ruby ring on HSN recently, and being so pleased with it, I thought I would give this one a try too because it has that "estate" look to it....Well, I received it today and the center "ruby" stone is definitely *not* as pretty as the one I had recently purchased here. Unfortunately, this one has a very "fake" red appearance to it - no warmth or "depth" to the color - it really looks like red glass to me. I haven't been able to talk myself into liking this one and so I will be returning it. That is so disappointing because I really did like the style!
