I've had my eye on this ring for about a year, hoping it would go on clearance. I saw the jewelry prices increased in January, so I went for it. Unfortunately, they don't carry many precious gemstone pieces in the store anymore, so I had to order it online. It arrived faster than originally indicated. It was love at first sight, it did not disappoint. It's beautiful! The sapphire are a good-better grade, not black as some mentioned but navy blue in dark shade and just blue and sparkly in light. The diamonds really sparkle, too. I've seen similar rings ranging from $850-$1400, so the price was fair. If you are looking for high-end royal blue sapphires, then you may be disappointed, but you'll also pay an additional grand for that. Overall, very satisfied with purchase. 😊
