I will give you the straight answer.
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.

G Grace Baker last monthGreat answer, very detailed.
I talked to my jeweler about this last month. My ring came from Pandora with a full certificate. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
Great question. I bought mine from Pandora for about $8,000. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Based on my experience:
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 $500 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
