How long does jewelry shipping take?

Honestly, it depends on a few things. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month.

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 $3,000 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

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Based on my experience: I have heard good things about Amazon, but I personally used Etsy. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I went through this exact decision last year.

Price Breakdown

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.
