Not sure of stone being real and silver quality
While this is a lovely design, there is something off to the feel of the stone, plasticky is the best way I can describe it. It lacks a heft and temperature of real stone. When quarantine is over I will travel to my parents to get the jeweler’s loop and magnifiers to take a closer look. Also, my skin reacts to metals other than silver and gold, and while the reaction I had was mild, none the less it indicates to me that the silver used to craft this ring is mixed with other metals that were not disclosed. It also does not have the flexibility that my known silver rings have, which is another indicator. I understand the softness of silver requires some bolstering, but typically good quality silver, even with supporting metals, does not cause reactions, so I’m left wondering what was used, if it’s toxic beyond just my sensitivity, etc.  As far as construction, the setting surrounding the stone is visibly uneven and the decorative final dot at the base of the stone is off center. I took a gamble ordering online, without seeing and feeling a piece in person. I got what I paid for. Shipping takes a while and the tracking number I was provided was never able to be found in the shipping company’s system. When contacting the seller about this I got a terse response that it takes time to load into the shipping company registry, which it never did. The ring arrived in a tiny plastic film pouch, wrapped in bubble wrap, inside a cheap plastic box, wrapped in multiple layers of brown packing tape going in multiple directions, inside an envelope that was completely sealed with clear packing tape. It was quite the effort to get into, but it did arrive in one piece. So for ~$30 I got a pretty bauble of iffy quality that I will most likely pass along.
