I bought this ring because I developed a gold allergy and my gold wedding band started bothering me. This ring is super shiny, the finish is great, and it looks awesome. You can't beat the price, I got it for $12.99. It won't scratch, it won't dull, and it will hold up well over time. I am still amazed by this deal, especially since the same ring sells for ten times the price in jewelry stores. i would buy this ring again, but I will never need to!
