When my hubby and I married, almost 35 years ago, we bought the exact same ring from a mail order catalog. The diamond was small enough to look like it was real, but large enough to look like he put forth some effort. Well, after wearing it every day for 35 years it was starting to look worn. I was delighted to find this exact replica as a replacement. Everyone assumes it's the same ring, just newly cleaned. My original ring was $39. 95. This one was about double that. We chose cubic zirconium rings because hubby and I are both hard on jewelry. If it can break, we Will break it. Accidentally, of course, but it will still be broken. The last ring lasted over 3 decades. This ring is slightly better quality than my original, so I expect it to last the rest of my life. Real diamonds are a ripoff and if you lose it you're SOL. Buy a zirconia and put a down payment on a house or condo instead. Love is real. Diamonds don't need to be.
