This is a beautiful bracelet.  I have a real diamond tennis bracelet and I held this next to my authentic bracelet.  Not much difference in the sparkel of the stones really.  I wanted a bracelet to wear on trips, etc and not worry about losing it.  The cz stones are not real large so it looks more like a tennis bracelet that most women would wear.  This bracelet is sturdy and well made.  The clasp is great, and the platinum coating makes it look much more real than a sterling silver bracelet.  Glad I bought it -- good price too,
