This is one of the most common questions I see here.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$3,000
Natural stone5-10x more
Plated alternative$20-$50 but will tarnish

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.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying

  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Here is my honest take after owning one.

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 $8,000 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

I went through this exact decision last year. I ordered from Amazon online. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
