I was SO excited about purchasing Technibond. However,a month after my fiance starting wearing it there was a major change in the color. It seems to be rusting. Unfortunately, I purchased the item 3 months b/4 Christmas, which is when I gave it to him, so there is no warantee on it. I was told there is nothing that can be done. I am extremely disappointed in this item. I was so excited about it and now I have nothing good to say. I don't believe that Technibond is something I'll try again.
