I am writing from my wife's account... I really love this ring. I had originally picked out the Sattino but returned it in favor of the 8mm Troy. The Sattino was darker and was still more brushed in its center section than I liked... I suppose the Troy is slightly darker in color than the picture shows as well. the Troy is essentially just the high polish version of the Mattino/Sattino. It has a gorgeous lustre and it seems that it will last b/c I have yet to scratch it. I ended up going one half-size smaller than the ring sizer indicated I needed, even though it was borderline. I would go with this again in a second if it was lost...
