The ring is exactly as it looks but actually even better. The tungsten comfort fit is butter smooth and simply could not be more comfortable, while still giving the ring a substantive weight and durability. The offset whiskey barrel white oak inlay is perfect. The wood changes color & texture as you rotate the ring: lines & shades of woodgrain appearing and disappearing as the light rolls off the ring. It seems perfectly sealed with crystal clear resin. Im close to buying another one just to eliminate any wait time if its lost. And Ava... Ava provided exceptional service and kindness through answering my questions and processing a return for resizing! (I couldnt wait to get the ring and guessed a half-size too big. Id recommend trying the ring sizer if youre not 100% sure of your size.) Ava made resizing so easy!
