Opinion please, a good buy? Yay or Nay

Ross -Simons

item#: 849475 

Turquoise and white topez ring in gold over sterling silver

$112.50

 

I want a solid gold, turquoise and diamond ring but with gold prices so high right now it's hard to find one for a price I want to pay.

 

Is this a good buy or not? Thanks!

The answer depends on what you consider a good buy.  In my opinion, plating on a ring is a dicey proposition--rings take more of a beating than, say, a pendant or earrings.  My experience has been that sooner or later, plating wears off and the ring is ruined, so I wouldn't consider this a good buy.

Thank you for your reply. I decided not to get it. Instead I just ordered item number J279105 from QVC. The as-is one. It is 14K gold. Thanks again!
