I think it''s gorgeous. I would definitely keep it, especially for that price - what a steal!

Lucky me I actually got 20$ refund from the vendor because he felt bad about the "surprise" engraving, lol. It's so nice to deal with such gracious sellers! I really enjoy ebay, every now and then you find a real keeper. It's like a country wide yard sale at my finger tips! Just takes some caution here and there

I think for $100 I love it

haha, seriously- pretty ring! I''ve never actually seen rose cuts in person, but I do find them pretty and interesting!

Yeah, the rose cuts depend more on the facets reflecting light to be shiny rather than light return. It''s sparkly, but you don''t get nearly the same dispersion and fire you see in brilliant cuts. But it''s scintillating and charming

I think it''s a keeper, very pretty especially for 95-20!

I''m starting to really love vintage too! My next project is going to be a "Toi et Moi" ring styled after this Victorian ring I saw:

Toi Et Moi

Except with me and the fiance''s birthstones (garnet and aquamarine). Hehe, if our birthdays were September and April, I''d totally just buy that one! It looks so pretty!

It''s pretty! And the engraving is great!
