My fianc at the time had lost my engagement/wedding ring set. So we needed something quick and inexpensive at the moment. So for our wedding we decided to buy this set, I didn't even know amazon had good looking rings. After the wedding we were able to purchase more permanent rings. I would not say they look super real, but enough to fake people not looking close enough. I have not wore them enough to say much about the wear down of the rings.
