I want something that will last for years.

Quick summary first, then details: My ring came from Tiffany with a full certificate. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Quick summary first, then details:
What I Noticed
The sparkle is actually more brilliant than a diamond in my opinion, especially under indoor lighting. Up close, nobody has ever guessed it was not a natural stone.
Cost
I paid $8,000 including the setting. A comparable natural diamond would have been at least five times that. The price difference is the main reason most people go this route.
Durability
It is still going strong after two years. I clean it once a month with warm soapy water and a soft brush. No scratches, no cloudiness.
Who This Is For
- Great if you want maximum sparkle on a budget
- Great if you do not care about resale value
- Skip it if you want something that holds investment value

I will give you the straight answer. My ring came from Pandora with a full certificate. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I have had mine for over two years now. A friend of mine got hers from Amazon and loves it. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
