I am actually surprised by this ring so far. After reading the other reviews, I thought it might lose gems very quickly. But here I am, months later, after going on with normal life, and no pieces have fallen out. Its no high dollar jewelry store piece, but I like it, especially for the price. Be forewarned though...it looks like a straight band in the photo, when in fact it is actually wavy. I made the mistake of bending one of the bands straight (kind of scary that it bent so easily) and had to bend it back to fit the other half of the set.Overall, I'd say that it is worth the price.
