I was looking absolutely a ring with a round ceramic, not the black plated carbide or other, because the color had faded after a few months with the friction on the old two-tone steel my husband. Besides tungsten is a metal that in the words is the strongest and most resistant to scratches, so I hope this beautiful ring will fulfill its promises. Note that this metal is less white than steel. Suitable for class men who like simple and pure lines, no bling. Delivered as quickly as in France, no worries at the exchange size I asked (well Size, ms I did not know the right size at the start).
