Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used to own a Jewelry store online. I sold VVS1, VS1 diamonds. I retired from this business in 2003 but still own great quality items that are kept safely in a vault. I decided to give Swarovski CD a try because I want an everyday set to wear without worrying that my good jewelry can get lost. I bought this wedding set. When I received this set (I bought the matching earrings and pendant necklace too), I could not believe my eyes. I was always accustomed to wearing good, expensive jewelry and this set blew me away. When I opened up the box this set took my breath away. The center stone looks just like a VVS1 clarity, D color diamond. Every facet catches the light and it does not look like some see through glassy looking CZ. The quality cut of this Ascher cut stone is so perfect that the light bounces all around the steps around the entire stone and you cannot see through the stone. The quality and workmanship is so high end, that I fell so in love with it. I received the set 3 days ago and wore it to the doctors office because I have a case of tennis elbow. I received compliments from the doctor and the doctors assistant on how beautiful my "diamond ring" is. The wedding band is so dainty and I love the small stones and the delicate detail all around D the entire band. I love the believable size of the stones on the engagement ring. I have long fingers and the stone sizes are not too small and not too large so it is quite believable. As someone who has worked as a professional who once sold fine jewelry I have never see such clean lines, beautiful migraine work and brilliant stones that rival the finest diamonds. This is a very high end look in rhodium plated sterling silver. The Platinum finish caps it so beautifully. I will never tell anyone I am wearing CZ but, I wanted to share here that if you want to replace your old or lost rings with something that looks high end because of the beauty of the design and the fine detail, get this set. It looks beautiful and believable and I never thought I would enjoy the Ascher cut, because I didn't know how well a dispersion of light it had and or how high the refractive index would be. Well, I got it and don't need to measure the fire, refractive index and dispersion, because my eyes are witness to the fire, brilliance and beauty of this set and also because on the first day I wore the set, today, I got compliments and it showed in the delighted wide eyed reactions of these two people. It's stately, elegant design says that I the wearer has fine, discriminating taste in jewelry.
