Is the Streamline Band good for daily wear?

Yes, 18K gold holds up to daily wear. The forged carbon inlay is the weak point: it can scratch or chip if knocked against hard surfaces, so take it off for gym work and yard work.

Can this ring be resized?

Only with difficulty. The carbon inlay limits how much a jeweler can resize the band, so buy the correct size the first time. A local jeweler can confirm what is possible for your size.

How does it compare with a plain gold wedding band?

It is wider and more decorative, with the carbon inlay giving it an industrial look. A plain band is lighter, easier to resize and less expensive for the same gold content.

Is the carbon inlay real forged carbon?

Yes, David Yurman uses forged carbon, a compressed carbon composite with a visible grain. Each inlay has a slightly different pattern, so no two rings look identical.

What size should I order?

Order your usual US ring size; this listing is size 8. The wide band fits snugger than a thin ring, so try it on before committing if you are between sizes.
