I haven't taken this off in almost two years. It's heavy and beautiful and a wonderful conversation piece. I thought after a while it might start to tarnish or wear but it hasn't. I wear it in the shower and all and it looks as gorgeous as the day I put it on. My  brother had the matching ring which his son now wears and it's just as beautiful. I can't say enough about these products, wonderful quality and I'm so very glad I bought them.
