I needed a nice, simple ring to wear around when cleaning and running everyday errands. Also, being 7 months pregnant, I didn't want to have to have my elaborate band and engagement ring cut off because of the amount of water weight I have accumulated. Very nice ring. I ordered a size up from my normal size and it is great. I might get another in my regular size 5 later on, but for now this is working perfectly. I don't really notice that I am wearing it half the time.
