Excellent value for a great looking ring. Blue Sapphire is dark but sparkles in the right light. Had no problem changing size and fiancée thrilled with engagement ring. Didn't know it at the time but found out later it does indeed resemble Kate Middleton's ring, albeit not nearly as large, but still cool. They may be lab created stones but in the long run who cares.The ring came by USPS. It was extremely beautiful. The sapphire was brilliantly colored and it was a very nice size. The customer service was very thorough and I look forward to getting something else from this seller's store in the future. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.It came darker than the picture. It was supposed to look like sapphire and I was a little disappointed. Did not return it only because my son was the gift giver and he didn't know that sapphire should not be this dark.
