This is a striking ring. I wanted a very durable but attractive ring that would not be damaged at work. Tungsten Carbide is pretty much indestructible and the contemporary look of the ring is another reason to own it. The cost is extremely reasonable and the quality is first rate. I have been very happy with the ring and would unhesitatingly recommend it, and have, to other brothers. Be sure to get a ring 1/2 size smaller then you usually wear.
