I went to all the wedding jewelry shops looking for a nice ring for my fiance.  But the cheapest ring I could find was over $700 for a 10k white gold ring, which was not nearly as nice as this ring at over half the price! I ordered this ring and a different style one and let him pick.  He liked this one.  From the picture it looks like the center of the ring is shinier or darker but its really not.  Still looks really nice though.  The only thing I don't like about this ring is that they engraved the inside of the ring... I'm going to see ifI can get that buffed out.  And it fit perfectly.  Overall a great buy!!
