My left hand ring finger is a 7.25, and my right hand middle finger is an 8. I wanted a ring that I could stack with my wedding band and engagement ring when I wanted a little more drama, but wear on its own, too, without looking too bridal. It's petite, but it's not un-noticeable ... to the contrary, it's elegant and simple, and I can see this being an everyday ring for me.FIT:I took pictures with it on my ring and middle fingers so you can get a sense of the sizing. On my size 8 finger, this ring (size 58) is snug and creates that 'gap' where it pinches your finger. On my 7.25 finger, it's loose, but not enough that I would lose it/ it would fall off. That makes the fit on me a 7.5 US.COLOR:The rhodium plating gives it a white-silver tone that's brighter by a shade than a sterling ring, but not enough to clash with platinum or sterling silver. My wedding band is an antique and solid platinum with diamonds. My engagement ring is a center sapphire with white sapphires around it. The swarovski crystals are whiter and brighter than the diamonds or the white sapphires, so if you were to stare at my hand closely, you'd see a difference, but on the hand, in normal light, they all blend just fine for my taste. But the platinum and sterling metals do have a slight 'grey' cast compared to the rhodium, so just consider your own taste.COMFORT:I have never bought a ring with the stones all the way around, because they always itch or hurt or just are uncomfortable. This ring is half stones, and is very comfortable. The design actually camouflages the fact it's half stones, though I'm not trying to fool anyone, but if you don't like the feel of a full ring, but like the look, this is a good option.QUALITY/VALUE:Excellent quality for price, at least here on day one. This ring is indistinguishable from fine jewelry at normal distance to another person, and has a nice sparkle in the right light, with good brilliance and colors. The price point is exactly what I'd expect for rhodium-plated sterling, and the box and packaging is beautiful and also quality. Very pleased.
