- Is this ring real gold?
- No. It is 14K gold plating over a brass base, so the gold layer is thin and will wear over time. Treat it as costume jewelry, not solid gold.
- Will the plating wear off?
- Likely with frequent wear. Plating on brass typically thins at the edges and underside within months of daily use. Take it off for washing hands, cleaning and swimming to make it last longer.
- How does cubic zirconia compare to a diamond here?
- It looks bright and white but has less fire and hardness than a diamond, and it can scratch or cloud over time. For a statement look at this price, that trade-off is the point.
- What sizes are available?
- Sizes 6, 7 and 8. Check the brand's sizing guidance, since plated brass rings are not resizable without damaging the finish.
- Is $28.49 a good price?
- It is the best new price found, at ShopSimon as of November 4, 2026, and sits near the low end of its recent range. With only two stores listing it new, compare both before buying.
- Can I wear it every day?
- It is better for occasional wear. The plating, brass base and large stone make it vulnerable to water, sweat and knocks during daily use.
