I will give you the straight answer. My jeweler recommended Pandora. 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.
Here is my honest take after owning one. My jeweler recommended Tiffany. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
After trying several options myself,
Step by Step
- Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
- Check the return policy on the listing
- Order a size slightly larger if unsure
- Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
- Store separately to avoid scratches
I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.
Let me break this down clearly. I have heard good things about Blue Nile, but I personally used Tiffany. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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 $5,000 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
