It was on sale and I got some extra discounts (free resizing plus an additional 10%... I haggled!).  With taxes and the extended protection plan which includes future resizings, cleanings, diamond replacement in the event of diamond loss and some other things which I can't remember, it was about $450.00.  The regular price was $599.00.  So I'm thrilled!

The picture makes it look huge! But it really isn't.   It's 10k white gold with .20 Carats of diamonds which you have to squint to see if you want to see each one individually.  It has nice sparkle though!

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
