Obviously, if you are buying this you are doing so KNOWING it isn't a real diamond - but it IS a REAL piece of jewelry - it's bright and sparkly, shiny and delightful! I was very impressed with the 'quality' of this ring.  It was manufactured well, the setting is solid and the gemstone sits evenly across the ring circumference!  I love it.  I got this ring to wear out in the city as it is a pretty close match to my engagement ring without the fear of loss or theft.  I am not at all worried about cruising down the street knowing this is replaceable.  It is a large rock on my skinny fingers but hey, I like it.
