We ordered this as a "house band" to wear while I am cleaning, running, etc. so that I don't damage my engagement ring or put unnecessary wear and tear on it. It is the perfect width (same as my engagement ring) and it is a beautiful ring. Excellent craftsmanship and just absolutely perfect for the price. I ordered 10K white gold because it's a little less soft than 14K and so I thought it would be more appropriate for a lot of wear and tear. I did heed the other posters' advice and ordered up a size - I am a size 5 anywhere else, and the 5.5 fits perfectly and is, indeed, the same exact size as my engagement ring (which is a size 5). This is a great buy!! Thanks, Amazon! You've pulled through yet again for me!
