My birthday is in July so my birthstone is RUBY. When I saw this ring and the price I said how can I go wrong. Well I didn’t. It is quite beautiful. As I said in my headline its the real deal. I bet if you put this band (Lab created Ruby up next to a “real” Ruby and Diamond ring you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. I am wearing it for now as a new wedding band because mine had been stolen while i was asleep in the hospital. Meanwhile I never could truly find what I loved to replace it and even though I am married over a quarter of a century I didn't ever want my husband to have that kind of crazy expense again. I also purchased the heart lab created ring both are sold by the same company so I think it will be a beautiful match. I give this a full 5 stars!
