I decide to write a review for this product as I have see many review for item by this seller that be fairly contradictory . I be a avid fan of sterling silver and personally own over 100 ring -lrb- purchase from various seller and artisan -rrb- . here be what I can tell you from my extensive experience : substantial sterling be expensive and shiny finish scratch no matter how careful you be . take that into account , I order this item with some trepidation - it seem to be awfully cheap for real sterling , and it be very shiny . the sterling be somewhat thin , however it be not as thin as I be expect it to be . it do not bend with normal usage . I even squeeze it onto a larger finger and then do some tug to get it back off and the ring do not bend . that be a decent thickness for the price . I also wear many ring at the same time and have not find my ring to have scratch the surface of this one -lrb- yet -rrb- . I have purchase ring from major retailer -lrb- when they be on sale they be about the same price as this -rrb- and the sterling be much flimsier and the surface easier to scratch . add to the fact that it be well-made -lrb- solid , the scrollwork be not stick out and the stone be not loose -rrb- , the detail charming , and the stone genuine , I can honestly say that I have NEVER FOUND A BETTER DEAL for a genuine sterling silver ring ! I love the ring so much that I have order several more and some other item from silver insanity . I be extremely satisfy with they product and find they price excellent -lrb- reasonable and appropriate -rrb- . these `` armor '' ring be a bit smaller than what some people may have be expect but that be why you should read the specification carefully and also the weight listing . I find that the 3 `` armor '' ring that I have purchase all reach to about 1 centimeter behind my middle knuckle -lrb- as in , do not go past my middle knuckle -rrb- . one note - the size seem a tad bit small - if you be a half size , order up ! Hope this help !
