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 $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
Honestly, it depends on a few things. My ring came from Charles & Colvard with a full certificate. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I will give you the straight answer. I compared Brilliant Earth and Tiffany before deciding. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
