The ring is as pictured; it has a nice weight to it and is not flimsy-I'm a guy. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. As an example of the artist's work, it is a good example, and I will continue to follow him. All is good.
The photo doesn't do this stone justice--it is lovely. Overall, the ring is daintier than I expected, but easy to wear and doesn't snag on clothes (a problem with some "star-shaped" jewelry!).
