The photo does not reflect the beauty of the item and the great shine! It is exactly as described although I found the size to run slightly larger. Ring was not for engagement purposes but simply because I know that Moissanite is considered (and is) a most beautiful stone and, in my case, a "Poor Man's Diamond." Wanted to own this gemstone and very happy to have purchased same. Hopefully, it will also wear well. Comes with a box topped with ribbon and a polishing cloth.
