Short answer:
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

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.

After trying several options myself, My jeweler recommended James Allen. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
