I will give you the straight 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

Here is my honest take after owning one. I compared Amazon and Brilliant Earth before deciding. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

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

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

Quick summary first, then details:

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
