How bad is too bad for repair?

Let me break this down clearly. I compared James Allen and James Allen before deciding. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Great question.

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 $800 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

Good thinking asking this before buying. My ring came from Etsy 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.
