I was slightly hesitant when purchasing this ring because 1. It was from China, 2. It was less than ten dollars, shipped, and 3. It had very few reviews.However, after over a month of using this ring DAILY it has held up very well with NO GREEN streaks or anything equally displeasing. I have washed my hands, cooked meals, done gardening work, showered with it, and other everyday activities and it has shown no signs of distress. (I even forgot to take it off when attempting pull-ups and the metal didn't bend like some other rings have been prone to do. However, it is painful to do anything with a bar when a ring is on your finger, so I would suggest removing when doing pull-ups/chin-ups.)Some things to keep in mind in case you are unaware (as I was) are: sterling silver is not the same as silver. It is 92.5% silver (thus the stamping of 925) and the rest is made up of other materials. BUT it is still a step up from stainless steal, and to be honest I can't even tell a difference. Okay so I know that it's probably JUST ME that didn't know that, but anyway...Now for the actual design of the ring: the braided bands are not perfectly shaped or welded together, but it's not noticeable until you inspect it closely and even then it barely shows up. (So unless you spend all day looking at your ring AND have OCD, then it shouldn't be a problem.)I hope I have assuaged any fears that you may have about purchasing and encourage you to do so! I would highly recommend. (Also, remember shipping from China is a slow process but have patience.)
