The ring is much prettier in person. I wanted just a simple engagement ring, nothing too fancy as I don't wear much jewellery (other than a necklace and stud earrings) and this ring is perfect, the stones are big enough that it feels like a special ring but not too big that I feel uncomfortable wearing it. I don't usually go for gold but I think because it's only 9ct it's not as harsh against but fair skin like some brighter golds are. A beautiful ring that I'm very happy with.
