Summary: Beautiful but Scratchable
Comment: I just got this ring today and I have to admit it is better looking than I expected. As other reviews on the other tungsten carbide rings mention these rings have a bit of weight to them and as for the scratch resistancy I haven't tried to scratch it yet. My only minor concern is there is no "TUNGSTEN" engraving on the inside of the ring, as depicted, but I will contact Peora about this and I am sure it's nothing major.

UPDATE (11/02/08): Peora responded to my concern and said "Thanks for your email, we guarantee that the metal is Tungsten, the factory simply forgot to put the mark Tungsten, we are sorry about this," so no harm no foul.

UPDATE (11/16/08): After wearing the ring on a daily basis for less than a month I have found several scratches on the brushed surface of the ring. I suspect these rings are not made with the nickel binder alloy which makes tungsten carbide so dense and hard to scratch. Tungsten carbide rings can be made with cobalt alloy or pure tungsten which lack the strength and durability properties of tungsten carbide rings with the nickel binder alloy.

I was expecting to never find any markings on my ring, but I am still happy with the price. If you plan on buying a tungsten carbide ring from Peora don't be surprised if you eventually find scratches on it.

Summary: Tungsten Wedding Band
Comment: I bought this ring for my husband, who isn't the type of guy to want to wear a wedding ring. We tried silver and he wouldn't wear it. Tungsten Carbide is used to make drill bits and other "manly" things, not to mention it won't turn your finger green and it is virtually scratch-proof. My husband hasn't taken it off yet and though try as he may, he has YET to leave a mark on it or have to clean it. I am completely happy with this product and am thinking of getting myself one to match! Awesome stuff.
