This ring was to replace another Tungsten Carbide ring that had gotten a bit to small. The original ring still looked like it had just been taken out of the box, never would guess that it was over five years old.The new ring is just a bit lighter than shown in the picture, but I really like it. It looks great and the grooves catch and reflect the light very nicely. Has a nice weight, seems heaver than a gold ring of the same size. The price here is about 1/3 of what the exact same ring was priced at in the jewelry stores around town.Very happy with this ring!
