This is one of the most common questions I see here.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

    Does the same apply to plated pieces?

Here is my honest take after owning one. My jeweler recommended Tiffany. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

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

Let me break this down clearly.

My Setup

I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.

What to Watch Out For

  • Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
  • Ask about the color grade before you order
  • Get a certificate of authenticity

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I bought mine from Pandora for about $300. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month.

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 $300 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
