So a few things I learned so far.

1. I can't take it off.
2. I received my first scratch last night. I was kind of relieved to get it over with.
3. It is heavy and that feels awesome.
4. I used to be in the "Yea, SS and WG look the same." club. They do not. Side by side you can see a goldish hue with the White Gold. Beautiful!
5. I will wear it when I don't care what day it is. (no date function)

Thanks Sam. Her collection is good. I think I am safe for now. Let's hope so. Anyway she can wear any of mine that she wants.
