Got these to wear to an afternoon tea.  Knowing I wouldn't use them often I didn't want to spend a lot of money.  I like the fact they are not thick--but since they are not the threads they are made of are quite fine.  I didn't dare wear my engagement ring under the gloves because I was worried the ring would cause the gloves to tear.  My only complaint is they ARE a bit small.  I have average sized hands (wear a size 7 ring), and these JUST fit me--and they barely cover my wrist.  If they were just a tad bigger they would be perfect, but for just the one wear, they were fine.
