I was looking for a band that wouldnt scratch and was very thin, high polished and pretty. I was a bit skeptical that this would be the same quality tungsten that you find in jewelry stores for a hundred plus dollars- this band being $10. So I've worn it the last 3 days straight- washed dishes, wore it next to a big white gold chunky ring, knocked it against counters, etc. Not a scratch or blemish that I could see. Perfect. I love that its a bit darker than the white gold ring I wear next to it. It has a real sleek, modern feel. Also - I love that I never have to take it off. I couldn't be more pleased! :)
