The Piece is much more attractive in person. My intended selected this ring and another. This one arrived first. My son and his wife loved this ring. I took it to my intended and he loved it also. It was too large and we used the second for the ceremony. My son commandeered the original ring for his own. I ordered another in the right size and my now husband loves it. He does carpentry and contractor work and the ring holds up well to the daily abuse. A little gentle brushing with a tooth brush and the piece just glows! I would have paid a lot more but He selected this one and was not aware of the price. A very good value for price and quality.
