me and my wife love the design of this ring. the tungsten part is darker than what is portrayed in the picture but it adds to the contrast and beauty of the product. we read the reviews here at amazon and should have followed what others have suggested. order one size smaller. i measured my finger using a ring sizer which are easily found online. even though i made sure that the sizer was pulled tight around my finger it still gave me a size that was too big on the actual ring. thankfully we didn't have to return more than once to find the right size. the product came in a nice soft pouch. my only complaint is that my wife's ring was shipped inside an envelope instead of a small box like mine. i was ready to find a broken ring in the envelope since tungsten rings are known to easily break under pressure.
