For the money, this is the way to go.  For only a small fraction of what you pay in a jewelry store, this ring is just as good.  The only drawback to this particular ring is that the black part of it is already starting to come off.  While changing the oil on my wife's car, I got some used oil on the ring.  The used oil partially removed some of the black.  Even still, this is a heck of a deal.  PERFECT for a man/woman who works a physically demanding job.
