When I got married I bought a titanium ring, it never really fit and I thought it was kinda dark. I then moved on to plain 10K white gold ring that over a 5 year period wore away to nothing. So I decided on this beauty. I like that fact that this ring has a high melting point (don"t ask me why just cool). Not to mention it's hardness value. At first I felt like the blue strip was going to be maybe flashy, but not so much. It is just a different look.... Its got a little weight to it and due to the comfort fit it got a little extra girth (yes, I said girth). I had looked at so many different nontraditional type rings and this seem to be the just right warm porridge. So overall I would differently recommend this ring. Oh don't forget the price, Amazon has the cheapest price too.
