- Is the gold color real gold?
- No. The ring is stainless steel with a gold-toned finish. It gives the look of gold without the cost or softness of the metal.
- Will it tarnish or turn my finger green?
- Stainless steel itself does not tarnish, and the gold coating is what wears over time. Most people see no green marks, though heavy wear can dull the finish at the edges.
- Can I wear it in water?
- Yes, stainless steel handles handwashing and showers. Repeated exposure to chlorine and salt water will shorten the life of the gold coating.
- How does it compare with a solid gold band?
- It is far more scratch-resistant and needs no polishing, but it is a coated base metal rather than precious metal, so it has no resale value and the color can fade.
- Can the ring be resized?
- No. Stainless steel bands generally cannot be resized, so order the correct size. Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is largest.
- What is in the box?
- The ring and Nialaya's standard packaging. It is typically a single band with no extra inserts or care kit.
- Where is the Nialaya Brushed Band Ring cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $59.00, as of our latest check.
