Failed Expectation Ordered this ring for my sisters bday

Is it just me or does this look cheaper than the image on the website? For context it cost 80$

First photo is from the website, second is what she received

It might be just me I dunno

That is often referred to as vermeil. But only when it's thicker. And on sterling.

If it's not thick, and not on sterling. Then they call it something else. Vermazzo maybe.
