How long does jewelry shipping take? Edited

I have had mine for over two years now. My ring came from James Allen with a full certificate. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Let me break this down clearly.

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 $5,000 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

This is one of the most common questions I see here. My jeweler recommended Etsy. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

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