"The ring I received is not smooth and polished like the one in the picture. It has an unpolished center that isn't bright blue (see my photos). Mine also seems a lot taller than the one in the picture appears to be. It is so tall that it feels unstable on my hand and completely disconnected from the base. In fact, the stone doesn't even touch the band, much less sit on it like the one shown. This is more of a weapon than a piece of jewelry. Even at the sale price, I am definitely returning it!"
