I got this ring about 3 weeks ago and have worn it almost everyday since. It's shiny and very bright. Comfortable to wear. I wear it stacked with other rings, and it works well. Don't seem to be able to just wear it alone. Looks undone without the other rings on either side of it. It's beautiful and well made, sturdy. I'm in and out of water at my job and it still is bright and shiny.
