It is a special nurses / healthcare worker ring. No edges. Nothing to snag. Nothing to cut a person with at all. Of course, it is also good for me.

Sure, get a DeBeers Diamond, its really the only one to get right now. Most of the Synthetic ones are "taken" off the market by some as yet unknown presence. Only time and quantity will force DeBeers.
