We bought these rings to replace a pair of Titanium rings we had purchased three years ago, those rings were very expensive and did not hold up well, my wife lost her's to a turtle, I kid you not, she was swimming at a lake in New Hampshere, the ring slipped off and was swallowed! Onto these rings, we bought these because they were cheap, the intention was to shop for more expensive rings after the holidays, the wife HAD to have rings for our holiday vacation, so these were ordered. We have ben wearing them for two months, not a scratch, they still look as good as day one, and they have quite the shine. We like them so much so that we have decided not to replace them. One warning, these are heavy rings, having had Titanium which was ultra light, these have some heft too them, but I like it.
