I purchased this as an alternative for my diamond ring. and it looks beautiful & really sparkly. You cant't really tell the difference not unless you look closely. The real diamond, when it's under the sun, it sparkles with nice bright white shine, this one it sparkles good but you can tell that sometimes it's kinda like bluish in color. But still it's beautiful! The stone is 2 carats & at first it's too big for me but now I enjoy wearing it! It's beautiful especially at night, when the light shines on it and it makes a nice sparkle. The only thing that bothers me is that I am a size 4, & this doesn't seem like a size 4, it feels more like a size 4.5 because it keeps on turning. Other than that, I love it! I recommend this for those who are looking for a nice 2 carats ring.
