This was my first and only (so far) full-price purchase from EV. I tend to frequent the sample sales. No buyer's remorse here. I love this ring. It has been well worn with no flaws in the finish. It has teeny tiny scratches now but that's to be expected from any metal after a lot of wear. It doesn't take away from the aesthetic. I am so happy with all of my EV pieces! The value and quality are on point.
