1. A showstopping cocktail ring set with the kind of timeless beauty that will make everyone think it's a family heirloom. (Heck, with so many reviewers talking about how durable it is, it well could be one day!) Promising review : "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time.
I've been wearing it for over a month now, and in the beginning, I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks, I just decided to leave it on, and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size.
It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that, I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price, and I am very pleased .

Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock.
It’s simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm.
I’ve used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I’ve used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It’s only downside is there doesn’t seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you’re using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it’s a great clock.
