I was looking for something unique for my fiancés ring. When I came across Manly Bands, I was overwhelmed by the amount of choices I had. I was unsure about purchasing a ring without seeing it in stores first, but when I saw The Aficionado, I thought it was the perfect combination of classic and unique. I knew the whiskey barrel interior would be a wow factor when he opened the box. (The packaging of the box was also pretty cool). Not only did the design and quality of the ring exceed my expectations, the customer service did as well. I needed assistance in sizing, since my fiancé was in between sizes, and they recommended getting a quarter size (10.25). The anticipated arrival of the ring was supposed to be 5 weeks and the ring arrived within 2 weeks. It was great! Such a smooth and simple process. Easiest part of my wedding planning experience so far :)

Aside from the beauty and uniqueness of the ring, the customer service I experienced is incomparable. John helped me as I searched for my ring and gave great insight on the qualities that made this ring ideal. While shopping for the ring I had a question that he didn’t have an answer to, I moved on to my next question and continued shopping. Two days later I received an email from John with an answer to the question I had asked days before. It was intimidating to order such an important item from an online company, but I can comfortably say they go above and beyond to ensure you get what you are looking for and that they provide the information necessary to to make your decisions. Thank you Manly Bands, you have truly given me a one of a kind ring and experience!

The order process was easy and completed faster than expected. The ring is great quality and fits properly. The whiskey barrel is a bit lighter colored than the photos indicate, but still looks awesome. The one disappointment was the ring box - it literally ripped in half after opening it twice.
