Amazon Essentials Platinum-Plated Sterling Silver Infinite Elements Cubic Zirconia Asscher Cut Antique Ring, (previously Amazon Collection)

I have tried so many (at least 25) cubic rings just to wear and bang around with for everyday…none have come close to the realness of this ring!!! I was skeptical because it’s hit or miss with third parties on Amazon and even Amazon itself sometimes. I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality and happy for @ $40. I was hesitant to try it. If you are on the fence and not sure and you don’t mind $40.+ then do not hesitate to get it!!! Sizing is generous so get your regular size…I wouldn’t say it runs big enough to size down but it will be a smidge bigger than your regular size. It slightly spins on the finger when it is cold out and your fingers shrink but it’s great in the heat when your fingers swell or you eat too much salt lol!!! It’s a classic style and the plain band makes it not too over the top and that’s what makes it so believable. My teenage daughter has been on my ring journey and she is picky as well and she gushed when she saw this on my hand she said it is the best one I have gotten so far!!!

I absolutely love this ring. I usually gravitate towards simple solitaires, but I have not taken this ring off. Because of the size, I got it in a size where I can wear it on my middle finger and I usually just wear my wedding band next to it.There are reviews about how large and "fake" looking it is and how people don't like how low it sits on the finger. Before purchasing this ring, it is important to know that this is very true to an art deco style. Original art deco rings have these type of details that may not necessarily have a large main stone, but will be a large ring in general. Also, a key component for art deco is for the ring to sit low on the finger, as it was very difficult to create a high level of detail on a ring with such a low profile. Rings that sit high on the finger seeming "real" and expensive is a much more recent idea and not an art deco detail at all. So keep that in mind.I hardly ever take this off, and I have had zero issues with its integrity over the past month. I am left handed and have bent multiple engagement rings in a matter of days after receiving them (both platinum and gold), so I am impressed with the sturdiness of this ring. I have an ultrasonic cleaner so it may last me for years, but at some point I may have something similar made in moissanite. That's how much I love it!

Update: 3rd photo is one year later. This thing is amazing!I don’t believe in diamonds, so I’ve bought a few rings looking for what I planned to wear as my engagement ring. This ring wins out BY FAR! The crystal is amazingly beautiful and brilliant, and the ring is heavy and feels like a real ring. It is built so beautifully! The middle stone is big, but I enjoy larger stones. My hands are fairly large (I’m 5’9) so the stone doesn’t look too big for my taste. The size 7 was true to size and fit beautifully. I’m beyond happy with this, I’m just bummed I didn’t get this sooner! I’ve bought 4 rings so far trying to find one I liked!

I love the ring and had it in my cart for months. Finally purchased it and am glad I did.It’s hard to wear a band with it, even the smallest ones but it’s stunning enough on its own.Sizing is true to size and the ring wears very comfortably.Only drawback is it doesn’t seem to catch light very well but I’m pretty sure that’s just the setting.Overall a great purchase to have.

I have several other cz rings I've purchased over the years just for fun and as replacements for my e-ring during travel/work, etc. I have a Berricle asscher ring (not swarovski) and this one has better clarity and shine than that. However, since my real e-ring is only 1.25 ct round brilliant with smaller stones, this one feels a lot bigger and flashier, which I have to get used to. I even thought about returning it just because I was afraid of feeling self-conscious (will people think it's fake since it's so big??), but I absolutely LOVE the art deco design/look......I decided to keep and not care what other people think. I'm even thinking about wearing it as a right hand ring. The only other drawback, as others have stated, is that it's difficult to pair it with other bands due to it's shape.

Before I buy anything I read the reviews and I look at the pictures and I do my research so when so when I read about reviews about this ring “looking really fake” I disregarded those reviews and I should’ve listen to them I think I ignored the review because I really wanted it because it. I received the ring and immediately I realized I should’ve paid attention to “the ring does look really fake!” Reviews. Because it does indeed look really fake. If you’re looking for a costume jewelry like if you want to wear this ring for the day then it’s great. but if you want to wear this as a replacement for your wedding ring and you want it to look real I strongly suggest looking for a different ring that actually looks real pros: I ordered a size 7 and it was true to size it was comfortable the stones looked secure.But again because of its fake look and far too large not an ring size but overall presentation returned immediately

This ring is more lovely than the photos really convey. There are other rings in similar styling but the bands are adorned while this one is simple and clean. The size of the setting is especially nice on my large hands (and with my larger body) which tend to make rings and stones look smaller than they would appear on a smaller person's hands. It's a generously sized band too, I almost had to go down a size to get a more secure fit but unfortunately the vendor doesn't do half sizes. The price for what you get is amazing, too.

Overall, this is a nice ring. The center stone is gorgeous, but I'm returning it for two reasons. First, the stones in the halo are a combination of rounds and marquise cut. The marquises are on the corners, and while it's a lovely use of different stones, the marquises appear flat and glassy. The band is also rather small in comparison to the size of the center stone.; the proportions of the mounting just don't balance.
