I got this ring 4 years ago to replace my lost wedding band.  I thought for 5.99 if it last a few months I would get my money's worth.  Well guess what?  I'm still wearing it. It looks just like it did the day I bought it.  I clean it in silver jewelry cleaner once in a while with a soft toothbrush.  I also get compliments on it all the time. No one would ever guess it wasn't a 3 or 4 thousand dollar ring.  Pleased just doesn't even touch it.  I am getting my daughter a ring and my sister a birthday present ring today.  They will think I paid a load of money for their gifts.  Shhhhhhh!  Keep my secret!
