I've had this ring for over a year now, and I agree with the other reviewer that it looks much better than the photo. But what a appreciate the most is that even though I wear this everyday working in construction, it looks as good today as it did when I first got it! Not a scratch on it! That would be the only thing that would give it away as not being real gold, but only to someone who was keeping track, because it always looks new, and gold bands get beat up very quickly! One other plus is how comfortable it is. The way it's shaped, both inside and out, make it extremely comfortable! The other reviewer replaced a lost ring. I got one to give my real gold-and-diamond wedding band a wear break. Now I find myself wearing this one for all but the most formal occasions. I highly recommend it!
