Nice, quality ring. As you can see from the price, this ring is not in the same league as a $2k item. However, I didn't want to spend $2k either. Having said that, the value this ring brings for the money I spent is excellent. I would have been willing to pay a little more for larger diamonds though. I had a very hard time finding an affordable garnet ring for my wife that looked "just right" - this one was it. It is exactly as it appears in photo. Would buy from Direct-Jewelry again.
