Ok so some of the other reviews are spot on. I bought this ring as a placeholder for my wedding band because I am losing weight and my wedding band started falling off. It's been on my finger for over two weeks and not a scratch on it. It holds up very well so far. My original wedding band has very nice lines cut into it and a great design.it also picks up tons of dirt and skin. I am constantly cleaning it. I paid 350 bucks for my real tungsten wedding band from zales. I wish I got one of these instead. Black bands fade/get scratched over time and start to look grey and dull. This band won't catch the crap that comes of your hands at work all day. If you like how it looks buy it. You will not be disappointed.
