I have had mine for over two years now.
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
This is one of the most common questions I see here. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Great question. I have heard good things about Pandora, but I personally used James Allen. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
