This ring is absolutely stunning in an extremely masculine kind of way. I bought this as a wedding band for my soon-to-be husband and he absolutely loves it. The pictures don't do this ring justice. We got it out of the package and both of our jaws just about fell to the floor. This ring is just amazing. So glad I picked it. It is super heavy duty and it looks great on his hand and he said it's extremely comfortable and not obnoxious (this coming from someone who has never worn a ring before). He loves it so much that I've had to hide the ring until our wedding day because I kept catching him wearing it around the house because he liked it so much. If you want a heavy duty ring, this is for you. It'll suffer through wear and tear. If you do the research on it, you will find out the tungsten carbide is 3 times stronger than steel. That's saying a lot. A friend of ours told us that her friend's husband had one of these rings and it saved his finger from being cut off in a factory accident. Pretty impressive. I'm completely sold on this ring. True to size also!
