I wanted to buy a wedding/engagement set to temporarily replace my original (which was 20+ yrs old and damaged) until my husband and I can afford more expensive/highest quality rings to renew our vows for our 30th anniversary. These sterling silver/simulated diamonds caught my eye and seemed perfect considering I love silver anyway & I wanted inexpensive all around for a temp set.The packaging was a testament to the quality this company boasts and so far I see it in these rings as well. The rings came exactly as described - high polished silver and brilliant simulated diamonds.I’m no diamond expert, but I think the only way any regular person might be able to tell it’s not genuine diamond is because it’s nearly perfect in color & clarity which is rare in natural diamonds.It’s simply a beautiful ring w zero imperfections. My daughter even commented that it looked prettier than pictured.I read some reviews on different rings from this company... some mentioned missing/loose diamonds. In fact, I chose this wedding band as opposed to the one that had the twist only going half way around the ring, because the other had multiple reports of missing stones. I have yet to have that happen to this or the matching engagement ring. I do take them off before rougher tasks like dishwashing, but will keep my eye on this and update this review with a timeframe and/or activity that might have contributed IF it happens in the future. This happened to my original wedding set over time, but being young we couldn’t afford high quality. So hopefully this set will tie me over until we are ready to invest in an anniversary pair of rings.I will absolutely consider this brand for purchases in the future.4/9/21 UPDATE: So I’ve had this for almost exactly 1 month and just yesterday one stone fell out. It’s just one that is closest to where a diamond row meets the silver row (so at the twist). It’s not a huge deal - I just keep that side turned in in the palm side of my hand. Otherwise it’s held up nicely and still as pretty as the day I received it. This is definitely the advantage of a full eternity ring. It’s easier to hide a blemish from view. I’m going to assume it’s because I don’t often take it off & it does go through the basic roughness of dishwashing and other household activities. I’m going to start taking it off during these activities, as I originally planned, so as not to risk losing another stone that will be harder to hide. I might also attempt to find loose replacement stones; though, these are extremely small and I’m unsure of the availability or ease of setting.Still leaving as 5 stars because it’s still fun to show off and pretty damn good for a $40 ring.EDIT 5/20/22: I’ve had these rings a little over a year and wear them almost daily. I mentioned before I had lost 1 stone & im happy to report it was just the one. However, the other matching engagement lost 3 of its tiny stones, so I decided to check out what I could do. I assumed any repair was on me, so I contacted the seller w some questions about if they repair, sell the stones individually, or have exact sizes so maybe I can DIY or find a jeweler in Chicago. The seller offered to send me replacements!!! And I can keep the original pair to boot! Which is helpful bc they did say they would only be able to do one replacement. But as long as I have the original set, this will serve as an excellent source for material if any future repairs are need in the years to come. I will definitely be checking this sellers inventory next time I am in the market for jewelry. I haven’t experienced this level of customer service in a long time. A+++Will update when the replacements arrive - they need time to enhance the prongs on the new set, which with silver & housework is EXACTLY what I need! Lol!6/28/22 UPDATE: I received the replacement rings a lot sooner than they estimated (they said 30 days). I’ve been wearing them for a couple weeks now and they are holding up better than the originals. They almost looked more brilliant than my first set. With this new set I am being more careful so as not to lose any of the tiny diamonds, but I wear them daily and through most of my daily routines (I take them off for dishes or messy cooking).So far they are just perfect & beautiful. I regularly clean them and buff w a polishing cloth.I’m very impressed with the quality, the beauty, & I can’t say enough about how awesome their customer service is. I will definitely check their inventory first when in the market for jewelry.Update 12/19/2022: STILL PERFECT! I’m still so happy w these rings and love them so much I was compelled to add this update. And in all honesty, as much as I try to be careful - I’ve washed thousands of dishes and other rough chores and they still held up!3/27/2024: STILL awesome. No missing stones. Minor wear on the silver but exactly what you would expect for a 3 yr old silver ring. Couldn't be happier and don't think I will replace them on our milestone anniversary like I originally planned. Definitely worth the money and anyone having an issue should contact the seller and see what they will offer. I do not regret doing that in the least bit.
