This ring is absolutely beautiful and has exceeded my expectations in every way. Wy wife and I wanted to upgrade my wedding ring and I wanted a nice gold ring that I knew was good quality and that was solid gold. The brushed finish gives the ring a somewhat modest appearance, but it has a certain eye catching shine to it and color that looks so much nicer than any other gold ring that you would find in a jewelry store. I could not have designed a better ring myself or found one anywhere else. The 8mm version makes it the perfect width. Highly recommended. Thank you Studebaker Metals!
