How HEINOUS is this Rose Quartz Ring?

How heinous is this Rose Quartz Ring?

It's (very) cheap rose quartz and silver. It's (very) big. And, that's about it.

How bad is it?

A) OMG... my eyes! Get it away from me, ew!

B) Um, it's ok.

C) Me likie.

Just how heinous do you think it is? I liked the colors and design pictured online (it didn't really look quite like this), but once I got it,.. I can't say that I like it anymore.

B. I liked the setting but I think the stone leaves something to be desired.

Thanks for the feedback. The setting and kind of old-fashioned style is what I liked about the online photo of the ring, but the rose quartz doesn''t look.. um.. rose quartz-ish to me. The purple around it is rhodalite. It''s a cheap ring, but I think it might look even cheaper than it is.. too "gumball machine."

I like the ring style but the center rose quartz is too light in color. I''d replace it if I were to keep the ring.

I would say the reverse - I like the stone but not in that setting - maybe this is a case of two rights make a wrong?

I actually like it.. not as an every day ring, but I do like it.

I agree.

 

[jewelz617]

I like it and would wear it.

 

[susimoo]

It is not my style, I have wee fingers, but I like it. hth

 

[blingmyring]

I like it too.

 

[Miss Sparkly]

I like it, but you also say that it''s very big so with that in mind it may be too gaudy when worn. Have any handshots?

 

[AprilBaby]

I kinda like it.

 

[tyty333]

I give it a B...looks like it could be a fun ring to wear!

 

[Laila619]

It''s not bad. It''s definitely more of a cocktail ring, not an everyday ring.

 

[joelly]

I like it (esp the setting). The center stone needs polishing, I think, it looks cloudy to me. Then again, maybe its just me. Would you change the center with another stone, say a diamond cushion shape? Just a thought.

 

[clgwli]

It''s okay to me. The center stone looks a little light colored to me. Almost more like a milky quartz than a rose quartz.

I see it more as a pin than a ring though.

B. It''s Ok. I''ve seen {and worn!}

worse!!!

category: B- or C+ for me

 

[tigerhearted]

I think it''s really pretty, even though I never wear anything so big.

 

[Fly Girl]

If it was a free gift from a much loved relative, I''d wear it when they were around. Otherwise, it would sit in my drawer, I''m afraid. If I were you, I''d return it. Sorry.

 

[gemdandy]

I think it is really pretty.

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

I think it''s cool!

 

[ringthings]

Thanks for the honest feedback everyone.

It wasn''t quite what I was expecting, but I''m starting to like it more.

I''ll try to take handshots later- it definitely is larger than what I''d usually wear.

A friend gave me a gift card, so I got this. This was about the best thing I found that I liked at that cheap level.

I could replace the center stone I guess-- hadn''t thought of doing so, but it would probably make it look much less costume-like if I did. The center stone would probably look better alone, but next to the rhodalites, it''s so pale.

I was planning on getting an everyday ring, and this appeared smaller online (it didn''t list measurements). But, I guess it''s decent enough for a fun cocktail ring instead.

I agree, B.

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Looks kind of fun! You''d have to post hand shots to get a better idea how it looks. First impression is that it''s cool.

 

[Dreamer_D]

I think I would wear it with the right outfit. It needs a bit of himsy or humour to pull off I think.

[purrfectpear]

I''d rate it a B for others and an A for me.

 

[ringthings]

Thanks, all.

I''ve ended up keeping it.

It looks better and more shimmery at night, so it actually might make a decent casual cocktail ring.
I''ll have to try to take a better photo of it. I''ve come to like it better- I wouldn''t want 10 of them, but one I can do.
