This man's ring is very handsome! The center stone measures 8mm x 6mm and is prong-set in solid sterling silver that has been plated with 18K yellow gold to give it a mirror shine, add durability and to prevent tarnish. The 1.28ct lab-created blue sapphire has a beautiful deep blue color. The halo of natural white zircon (not to be confused with cubic zirconia) in contrast with the blue sapphire center is very pleasing to the eye. I love the design of the ring with the interesting beaded lined detailing on the shoulders of the ring. The band is 2.7mm in width at the base, which will tend to make it comfortable to wear and it increases to 10.3mm at the top of the ring. There is an ample amount of silver in this ring, as it weighs 9.7 grams on the scale. It was crafted in Thailand and has been sized to a 10.5. The ring is stamped 925 and signed BBJ. At this price, it will make some man very happy!
