I've had this ring for 3 months now! I never take it off. I'm a mom of 3 and I have a lot of cleaning and washing up to do. This ring still looks brand new except for a few minimal scratches on the bottom of the band. The rest of the ring has a pattern, so the stripes are not visible there. It is still the same color as when I received it, without tarnishing. All the stones are still there, which is good because, as I said, I haven't removed it for 3 months. I also wear it during showers. The size is nice for me, not too big but not too small either. I think it only looks fake if you look at it closely and study it for a long time. I got a lot of compliments on it, they think it's real. It also has a smaller profile than my real pair. My real pair is too high for my finger and constantly snagging on things. I only had this problem a few times with this pair. In fact, I would like to buy one as a reserve, but my size is not available at the moment. I am really impressed with this ring. I first bought another one, but it looked too fake. This meets my needs!
