Good thinking asking this before buying. I ordered from Tiffany online. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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 $500 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

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.

I went through this exact decision last year. I ordered from Blue Nile online. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I have heard good things about Blue Nile, but I personally used Tiffany. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
