I picked up two (2) of these rings (size 11 &12) back in Sept/Oct of 2011 for my wedding. My wife let me choose my own ring and knowing my line of work I wanted something cheap in $$ because I know it would be get scratched and beat up. Well it's now about 6 months later and I'm amazed to report there isn't even a single scratch in either of the rings. I can't believe that the abalone inlay's do not even have a scratch in them or that any of the pieces have fallen out or come loose. These rings get abused daily, I couldn't the number of times they have been hit with hammers, jumping sawzalls and the occasional other stupid move I do. The ring has saved my finger from getting abused, crushed or hit and yet not a scratch.

At least twice a week I get a different stranger asking me about the ring because they look so different and shine nice and bright. I've had people guess at the cost telling me anything from $500 to $1500, when I tell them I got both overnight shipped from Ashmill for less than $100 they damn near fall over.

I now have 3 buddies who have also bought this ring to replace their gold wedding bands and same results they all look like new after being worn day after day.

The durability has us joking that if we can't find the right tungsten drill bit we can just put our rings in the drill and use them make the hole.
