Materials: This ring feels solid and heavy (for its size) as tungsten should. The tungsten is highly polished and the edges are nicely and uniformly rounded. I have no idea if the gold/gold-plating is real, but it looks nice and is the right golden color (not "rose gold", etc). Overall the materials look and feel much nicer than the price suggests they should.Size: I don't wear many rings, but the sizing may be very slightly on the large end. I lost some weight, and had myself resized at a jeweler. For me, the size 11 ring-sizer was a bit tight, and the 11.5 was just right. This particular ring only shows full sizes on Amazon, so I thought a size 12 would be fine. Upon receipt, the 12 was definitely too loose. I returned it for a size 11, which feels perfect (not tight like the ring-sizer size 11 was at the jeweler).Overall, I would definitely buy again.June 21, 2013 EDIT: As other reviewers have mentioned, this ring has held up great except for the gold band; it's almost completely worn away. The tungsten still looks and feels fine though, and its really hard to complain at this price point. It is something to be aware of, however. With this wear issue in mind, I'd give this 3.5 to 4 stars instead of my original 5, mosly because, cmon, it's still only 20 bucks! I still would buy again.
