Good thinking asking this before buying. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I ordered from James Allen online. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. A friend of mine got hers from Pandora and loves it. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

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 $3,000 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
