Let me start by saying this ring is a STUNNER. The oval-cut cubic zirconia catches the light beautifully, giving off major diamond vibes without the price tag. I wore it to a weekend brunch and got multiple compliments – no one guessed it wasn’t the real deal!

The 925 sterling silver feels substantial yet comfortable. I have sensitive skin, and after two weeks of daily wear (including handwashing and workouts), zero green fingers or irritation. HUGE win for a budget-friendly piece.

Now the sizing quirk: Order your TRUE size. I initially sized up based on reviews and had to exchange – the band runs slightly large. My normal size 7 fits perfectly with a tiny bit of wiggle room (ideal for summer swelling).

Durability report: After wearing it through airport security, beach days, and dishwashing (oops), the prongs still hold the stone securely. Some minor tarnishing appeared after a month, but a quick polish with a silver cloth restored the shine instantly.

Pro tip: This makes an excellent "decoy ring" for travel or high-risk situations. I recently took mine to a music festival instead of my engagement ring – zero stress about loss or damage.

The only con? The oval stone is slightly wider than expected. If you prefer elongated shapes, this might not be your perfect match. But for under $30? Absolute steal for the sparkle factor.
