This ring is made of the cheapest "silver" known to man... it leaves your finger black within minutes of putting it on. These days, silver is usually at LEAST coated to protect the wearer from that "oh so icky" black tarnish that can form on the skin under the ring. No such luck with this piece of crap. Not only did it leave the "attractive" black as soot band around my finger, one of the rings I ordered (I ordered three for myself, my girlfriend and our "gay supporter" roomie) was defective in that the band that is supposed to spin, wouldn't budge without great force. So, at the risk of sounding redundant, this ring, is crap. Go buy something that has at least the coating on it to protect your finger from the appearance of blackrot!
