I ordered this for my wife. This ring really is a brilliant shiner especially in the sun. The multi-faceted design really gives the light so many places to shine from. I am thrilled with this purchase and so is my wife. Since Tungsten Carbide is only second to diamonds in hardness I know the ring with outlast my lifetime. This is same mineral placed onto saw blades to keep them sharp but I never imagined this material could be fashioned into such a beautiful piece of inexpensive jewelry.
