Let me start by saying I’ve worn this ring nonstop for 3 months - to work, date nights, even while doing dishes (oops). The first time sunlight hit that oval CZ, I audibly gasped. The fire is insane - way more sparkle than my coworker’s actual 1ct diamond.

The band is my favorite part - sturdy enough that it hasn’t bent when I accidentally whack it against door handles (happens more than I’d like to admit), but the rounded edges make it crazy comfortable. I forget I’m wearing it half the time.

Size tip: Runs slightly big. I’m a true 6 but this slides a bit when my hands are cold. Would’ve sized down to 5.5 if I could reorder. The oxidation warning is real though - I learned the hard way after wearing it through hand sanitizer marathons. Now I keep a polishing cloth in my purse.

Funniest moment? When my jeweler aunt complimented my ‘new diamond’ at Thanksgiving. The stone’s precision cuts and how it sits low on the finger makes it look wildly expensive. My only complaint? I keep getting asked where I got it - might need to start an affiliate link!
