If you're trying to decide between this and the three or four other simliar rings that are less expensive, this is the one to get. It's of obvious polished quality and it's significantly heavier than the others. This is my favorite. One thing to note, however, because of the added weight I guess, the sizing is a little particular. I'm a size 9, and I had originally bought the size 9.5 since there is no size 9 option. Even in the summer, when my fingers are a little more swollen, the ring was loose. As it got colder out and my hands got smaller, I could easily shake the ring off and it almost fell off a few times while riding my bike. I ended up buying another - the 8.5 - and this is a much better fit. I imagine in the summer it might feel a little tight, but I'd rather that then potentially lose the larger ring in the winter. I'm saving the 9.5 to give to a larger-handed friend. So in summary it's a great ring but make sure you know your ring size and if you're a 9 like me get the 8.5 not the 9.5. Enjoy!
