Let me start by saying this ring is a showstopper! The moment I unboxed it, the sparkle from the oval-cut cubic zirconia had me doing a double take. In certain lighting, it genuinely passes for a real diamond – my coworkers kept asking when I got engaged!

The 925 sterling silver band feels sturdy yet comfortable, with a rounded interior that doesn’t dig into my fingers during all-day wear. I’ve worn it stacked with my wedding band, and the pairing looks luxe without being over-the-top.

**Pros:**

- Unreal sparkle – the CZ throws rainbow flashes like a high-end diamond

- Perfect weight (not too light like costume jewelry)

- True to size (I’m a 6.5 and ordered size 7 for swollen summer fingers)

- Survived beach trips and dishwashing with zero tarnishing (just wipe dry after water exposure)

**Cons:**

- Stone gets cloudy after lotion/sunscreen contact (easy fix with jewelry cleaner)

- Band shows micro-scratches over time (typical of sterling silver)

This has become my go-to for travel – no stress about losing an expensive ring, yet it photographs like the real deal. For under $30? Absolute steal. Just order half-size down if between sizes!
