I got this mesh band ring to match the mesh band of my Skagen watch. They are not a perfect match (the Skagen watch band is higher quality and has a tighter weave), but it still looks pretty good. The finish is not as bright as sterling silver or white gold, but given the width of the ring, I like the more subtle hue. I really like that the ring is flexible. I read in another review that the mesh band stretched out over time, so I don't take my ring on and off (I don't want it to stretch over my knuckle), and there has been no change to the color or finish after wearing it daily and subjecting it to soap/detergent/lotion/sweat.
