I just have to wonder about these rings. I have received spam from many sources telling me I have "won" a ring....and then the catch of paying $4.95. I'd question the quality of this stuff, and how they can afford to sell off this fine jewelry for the cost of shipping alone (which usually is less than what they charge) I guess that's just the pessimist in me.

I'm guessing that these are not real gold, and would probably turn your finger green. If you buy them, I would suggest that you coat the band with clear fingernail polish if you are prone to turning green from fake gold.

Actually, I posted this a few weeks ago. I ordered the amethyst ring for my grandmother. I believe it is gold plated or something. When you call to order, they offer you a million other things. JUST SAY NO!

However, I did agree to preview a set of matching amethyst jewelry. As a gift for previewing, I got a matching pendant and chain. It matches the amethyst ring so there's a nice set for a gift for my grandmother for $4.95. I returned the rest of the set I was previewing just by marking Return to Sender and had no problems.

That gold electroplate is not worth it! You can only wear the ring a few times before the gold wears off.
