Sparkly stone, nice shiny gold color...but the band is so thick that it looks like a Superbowl ring and it pushes my fingers apart! Another significant issue: there is a tiny crystal set into the interior of the band. I have no idea why it's there because it is up against my finger...but moreover, it is SO irritatingly scratchy and uncomfortable! It is the equivalent of having a rock in my shoe. Whoever designed that little feature has never worn a ring before... I would return, but it was final sale.
