I've worn this Thalia ring for a bit over two years, using it in place of my original wedding ring. It is very attractive, and has received many positive comments. Since I wear it all the time, the ring is exposed to any activity or project I do -- from playing guitar at gigs to gardening to home repair like putting in a floor or repairing the roof. It has stayed beautiful with no wear that I can detect. This past Winter while we were in Ecuador, and visiting with the top guitar maker in the country, he admired the ring, tried it on, and wished he had one. I've since purchased one for him that I'll present when we return there this Winter. I'm very pleased with this purchase, as I have been with other Thalia products.
