- Is this ring solid 14K gold or plated?
- It is 14K gold, per the product details. That is solid gold alloy, not a plating over base metal, so it will not flake or wear through to a different color.
- How does a cigar band fit compared with a thin ring?
- A wide band covers more of the finger and tends to feel snugger than a narrow ring in the same size. Many jewelers suggest going up a half size on wide bands, and a jeweler can resize it.
- Can it be worn as a wedding band?
- Yes. The plain, stone-free band works as a wedding ring, and its width gives it a heavier look than a standard narrow band.
- Will the polished finish scratch?
- Gold is a soft metal, so a polished band will pick up fine scratches with daily wear. They blend into the surface over time and can be polished out by a jeweler.
- Can it be engraved?
- The flat outer face of a cigar band is a common place for engraving, but check with the seller or a jeweler before buying, since the band's width and thickness affect what fits.
- Is it suitable for daily wear?
- Yes. Solid 14K gold holds up to everyday use better than plated or hollow rings, though you should still take it off for heavy lifting or harsh chemicals.
