Size also seems accurate as well. It's fun to roll on and off my finger, like having a fidget spinner!
For those wanting REAL info on jewelry - I have it for you as I used to work at a luxury jewelry store and saw people bring in cracker jack box costume jewelry on up to $1M+ pieces and had to know how to handle all pieces of jewelry. So here are some real facts...
1. It's sterling silver and plated with rhodium which is COMMON practice. Rhodium plating is why you get "white gold", "chocolate gold", "black gold", etc etc. It's rhodium. White rhodium on a naturally white metal helps to brighten the white color. The rhodium also serves as a protective plating to the actual metal underneath, like sterling silver. This plating helps slow tarnishing unless you are someone who's skin has a heightened chemical reaction. That means some people's skin break down the rhodium plating extremely fast and there's nothing a person can do about that. Not the ring's fault and not the person's fault, just a fact. And, it does not matter if the rhodium is covering silver, gold, platinum, or palladium. It will just happen.
2. It's a sterling silver ring, it is NOT gold. Listing is quite clear and it should be understood that silver is not an expensive metal, hence the listing price. Yes, it's much better than pot metal (think cracker jack box jewelry), and is less common than stainless steel, making it more valuable (although not by much). But, it's a SOFT metal. So aside from the plating having the ability to fade or chip, if you wear it all the time, the metal will get worn down. You won't just see regular discoloration, you'll see scratching and chipping of the actual metal, and it will even slowly start the take the shape of your finger over time. Let me repeat... this is not gold, it's silver. (Fun fact - platinum has the EXACT same issues as silver except it's tough, so actually chipping is difficult and doesn't tarnish the same way, but because is soft and malleable, all other issues apply. Does not matter that it costs a ton of money to buy compared to other metals.)
3. Sterling silver tarnishes. Period. That is part of its natural properties. If you care about it, you have 1 of 2 choices to fix it. Go buy polishing gloves for jewelry and use them to remove the tarnish. Or, you can take it to a jeweler that has liquid tarnish remover for jewelry (Another fun fact: the liquid is made with sulfur and smells like rotten eggs), and in 2 seconds, all tarnish will disappear. The liquid remover is for tarnish on any ring, which includes costume jewelry, sterling silver, palladium, and gold. Yes... even gold. It'll be safe for your ring.
4. This ring is an interlocking triplet ring. That means that as the rings move around against one another, no matter how slight, wear and tear will happen to the metal. That's common sense. This is another reason why it's suggested people solder their wedding sets together - loose rings rubbing against each other cause wear and tear, chipping, the whole nine. Just like if you rub your jewelry all over your clothes, bedding, countertops, steering wheel, computer mouse, etc. All contact and friction will cause wear and tear. Also consider water, soap, and lotion/oil residues as they will cause wear and tear and chipping as well.
So! To anyone who thought they were getting a flawless ring for $10 and complaining, they have lost their minds and is the most RIDICULOUS expectation. No ring, not even those worth millions, is flawless. Metals, stones, and settings for jewelry wear down and do so faster based on their treatment by the person wearing them. In other words, I'm going to expect my ring to wear down and chip. I'm going to expect it to tarnish and that I will need to polish it off. Because that is what happens.
So I give this ring a 5-star and I would buy this ring again!
