I picked this ring out and my fiancee and I ordered it for my engagement ring.  Now, you might think that that sounds really cheap, but I actually put a lot of thought into this.  I am very conscientious about environmental and humanitarian causes so one of my main concerns when buying a ring was that I did not want to purchase any materials that may have been the cause of any humanitarian or environmental strife.  Since titanium is one of the most abundant metals on earth and can be found nearly anywhere in the earth I figured there is no way that people are being displaced from their homes in the procurement of this metal source.  Cubic Zirconium is just as beautiful as any diamond and most people wouldn't even know the difference between this and a real diamond...and I wouldn't care even if they did.  The ring is very pretty on my finger and I am very happy that I can wear it with a clear conscious.  I have bathed with it on, washed dishes, and done workouts (including weight training) while wearing the ring and it has not sustained any noticeable damage.  It still looks as great as the day it was delivered.  I'm really quite happy with it.
