Meant to last!  I was aiming for value as well as durability and this ring, meets everything I wanted for my husband of 50+ years.  He lost his wedding band last Spring and I wanted to find something he would remember, not just wear.  Because the band is 6mm wide, it creates a look that is not just very handsome on a man's hand, but can take the wear and tear a man puts on things using his hands.  (My husband never takes his band off.)  We are both extremely pleased. I recommend this ring for anyone looking for a durable and attractive band.
