I wanted a ring I could wear when I'm not wearing my wedding set.  Something that will handle cleaning house, gardening, not get scratched or damaged when reaching in the washer, etc.  I had ordered a titanium band and was very disappointed because it was soon scratched up and looked like a matte finish.  I found this and based on reviews, ordered it.  I am very happy with the weight of it, the facets are so that it will catch the light and refract.  An unusual and elegant ring.  It has a very slight pale gray look, however it is an exceptional ring and I wear it with complete joy and pride.  It looks far more expensive than it was.
