Ive worn this ring now as my pregnancy/work/gym wedding band for four years and it still looks brand new. I work as a chef and this has yet to show scratches from steel wool pot scrubbers, knife marks, or one memorable incident with a cheese grater. No damage from harsh or abrasive cleaners either. Comfortable fit that never cuts into my finger. Slender design doesnt give me trouble with tight latex gloves. Im a big fan.
