I ordered this ring to use while my real engagement ring is getting serviced, and also to use when traveling. It did not come in a ring box (came in a little plastic box) so if a guy is purchasing he would need to buy a separate ring box. The ring is nice and shiny and the silver is also shiny. The size was totally right - I am a 5 and it fits perfectly! I am sure that over time it will not look as pretty (silver will tarnish etc) but if you are ordering this to wear occasionaly I think it's a great ring and great value! No one realized this was not my actual engagement ring which is similar to this one, so that is a plus! I would recommend this ring.
