I bought just the engagement part of this ring in a separate purchase before buying this set, so I can say that while these rings are beautiful new, they age well. I like the engagement ring even better now that I've been wearing it about eight months. No one can tell that these are not real diamonds. My sister-in-law didn't want to take a ring selfie with me at a bridal show because she said my ring dwarfed hers and was brighter! The large stone on the engagement ring even shows prisms of colors, not just white. While these aren't the cheapest rings out there, the price is good for such a quality piece. I'm hard on jewelry. Practically every ring I own is missing stones. A ring with expensive diamonds is out of the question for me because I tend to lose them or at least lose stones. I have not lost one stone from the engagement ring I've been wearing. I do take it off to wash my hands. If I get anything on it, I polish it off as quickly as possible. I keep it in its case when I'm not wearing it at night, though I have tossed it in a jacket pocket with my phone while I'm washing my hands on occasion. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this set to anyone looking for a beautiful set of wedding rings for under $100. I may even buy another set just in case I lose mine or they get stolen.
