How do I clean an engagement ring?

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. I compared Etsy and James Allen before deciding. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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

Short answer: My ring came from Pandora with a full certificate. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Let me break this down clearly. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Short 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 $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
