I recently had surgery and they had to cut off my wedding band, since I couldn't remove it myself and it had been on my finger for 20 years. So, I was in the market for a new band and I wanted a durable and slightly thicker band. This beautifully polished ring looked just like I wanted, but I had my doubts since online shopping often distorts a product's true image. I have not been disappointed! As others have said here, this ring looks even better in real life. The dual striped look is stunning and I actually like that the ring weighs a bit more than my original band. The price is very affordable and the ring itself is gorgeous. I did listen to those reviews that stated that the ring runs a bit small and I was not wrong in heeding their advice. I normally wear an 8 and I ordered the 7.5 and the ring fits me perfectly. If you're looking for a beautiful, inexpensive and durable ring, this is the right ring for you!
