I love the wedding ring and I love the men's ring and my only complaint is the stone on the engagement ring. I did read that depending on how it was cut and what part was used the colors and textures could be different. But mine looked like a dirty Stone it didn't really look like the Galaxy like it looks in the pictures it was clear with black polka dots. I feel that a stone that isn't close enough to the beauty that it's supposed to have just shouldn't be used so I feel like they should have just discarded this Stone and gave me a different one from the cut. The other two are beautiful it's just a main engagement ring that I feel should have been better.

The photo contrast on the item listing make it appear brighter/more brilliant than they are in person. The gemstone is not as luminous as I was expecting

The earrings matched my wife's wedding ring perfectly and she loves them. We haven't had any issues with any of the settings either.
