My mom is in the jewelry business, and she couldn't find us nearly as good a deal as this ring for diamonds of the same quality and clarity. When I got the ring, I had both the IGI certification, my mother, and my own observations to verify that, in fact, the diamonds are of the quality and clarity shown--really, they are closer to G quality on average than H! When my boyfriend and I went to Tiffany's, a similar ring that they showed us was also G and VS2 quality, but a lot more costly.*

To note about this ring:

1. It has a rather comfortable, comfort-fit band.

2. At the end of the row of diamonds, the channel extends with a bit of a flat plane. You can see the profile of the two end diamonds.

3. The band is the same width all the way around--not tapered.

Personally, I think the channel setting is rather classic in feel, while the cut-outs at the end of the channel add a slightly modern flair.

Also, the ring that I got was actually a size 5.25, when we ordered a size 5. In particular, when you put the ring on a mandril to measure it, the bottom of the ring is at about 5.25 whereas the middle comes to around 5.00. (Due to this error, I am rating the ring a 4, though overall I am quite pleased). Turns out, I am really a 4.75, so I had the ring I got sized. Suffice to say, if you are in-between sizes, I would get the smaller size to be safe.

* If you have about 5x this amount of money and want to spend it, go to Tiffany's and get the partial of Lucida diamonds in a platinum setting. That ring is gorgeous--particularly the Lucida diamond, which is a proprietary cut of diamond that is being patented by Tiffany's and is only sold there. I think it'll make a great wedding band;)
