First off, the design is so delicate and simple (in a good way!) and fit what I wanted (an "everyday wear" family birthstone ring)! I knew that given the price and description, that it probably wouldn't hold up forever, but that's okay with me for now. This was just to be a place holder until our family is complete and we invest in a nicer ring with real stones. That being said, I've been wearing my ring almost daily for less than a month and it is already completely tarnished on the part of the band that is on the inside/back of my finger. It still is a beautiful ring, but not made for daily wear. Would still recommend it, but maybe for special occasions.
