Is a lab diamond good for engagement rings? Edited

After trying several options myself, I went with Amazon on Etsy and saved a lot. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

I went through this exact decision last year.

Recommendation

If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.
