This looks like the real McCoy!  I sparkles and looks just like my real diamond solitaire.  Only problem is that it looks like a $30,000 piece of jewlery and it draws everyone's eye.  It has the weight of real, solid jewlery.  It has smooth edges and doesn't pick clothing.  The safety clasps are secure.  I will wear for special occassions, but wish I had gotten the smaller version so I could wear it everyday.
