This brand new gorgeous ring is a size 5.5. The pear shaped cut Sapphire is lab created, it has 8 round white topaz stones surrounding the sapphire.

Many jewelry designers have been forced to switch materials or to use less sterling silver in their designs to compensate for the increased costs. However, the quality and look of sterling are popular for good reason. The value of silver filled is greater then silver plated because silver filled has an actual layer of sterling silver. Silver filled jewelry is economical. You can enjoy having silver jewelry at a fraction of the cost.
What is silver filled:
Silver filled is an actual layer of silver-pressure bonded to another metal. Silver filled jewelry is not the same as silver plated jewelry. It is safe for most people. The silver is bonded to the core metal and does not flake off the way a plating might. Sure, silver filled has much more silver content, but please be aware it is not "solid silver".
Nickel free-silver Filled
Some peoples body chemistry seems to “eat” the plating off costume jewelry (apparently their skin is especially acidic). Within just a few days, standard plated jewelry is destroyed on their bodies! Silver filled jewelry does not seem to react the same and most people report that they had no issues. The silver filled jewelry looks and wears exactly the same as sterling silver jewelry.
