I bought these as a replacement for our lost wedding bands for our 5th anniversary. They are thicker than I had thought they'd be, but still comfortable to wear. They are attractive, and they don't turn my finger green as do most metals other than gold and silver.

As far as the fading they do fade very quickly! My husband's didn't but he barely wore his because it was platinum and not gold. So anyhow they have been put to rest in the back yard amongst the weeds. If you and your sig. other are not concerned about the metal or picky about gold and are more interested in the significance of the bands then I definitely recommend them, but you will have to remove them every time you wash your hands, shower, wash dishes, etc. or very soon they will fade and be very dull looking. The gold plating is very thin and wears off as well.

The seller is great, and very willing to exchange for another size as I had to do.
