We wouldn't suggest buying your engagement ring (or other diamond jewelry) from Macy's. Given the limited selection, disappointing jewelry quality, and inflated prices, you'd be better off with an online jewelry retailer like James Allen or Whiteflash, which provides better value for money.

It is real and marked with the appropriate markings. It may not be the best quality of jewelry but it is real. I want you to remember as with any jewelry store the lighting is perfect and the jewelry clean so it can look their best.

It is still overpriced junk. Go to a real jewelry store in your town and look at good jewelry, or even better go to a well respected antique show and look at the fabulous estate jewelry. You will not want anything Macys has after that and you will find true bargains and one of a kind pieces.

Macy's does not have higher-quality diamonds. They sometimes do, but generally speaking, Macy's diamond quality falls to the bottom edge of what we recommend (or lower).

The highest quality jewelry is typically crafted from metals such as platinum, silver, and gold, which are best if you have sensitive skin. You'll also see a range of other materials paired with traditional pearls and gemstones along with contemporary options such as lucite, resin and beading.

The term “fine jewelry” is used for any jewelry that is made from precious metals such as gold, silver, or platinum. Fine jewelry typically uses genuine gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or emerald. Fine jewelry is durable and made to last.

Essentially, synthetic diamonds are real diamonds. But, unlike natural diamonds, they are formed above ground by artificial means. Please note that our tests will not identify lab-created diamonds. Most lab-grown or created diamonds include a tiny inscription identifying them as lab-grown for this reason.

Real diamonds are usually set in precious metal such as yellow gold, white gold or platinum. The type of gold (e.g. 10K, 14K, and 18K) or platinum (PT or Plat) is stamped into the inside of the band. If the setting doesn't have any precious metal markings, then the stone is likely fake.

24K Pure gold is notated as 24K – this is the highest karat level for gold meaning it is 100% pure gold. 18K gold is 75% purity level, 14K is 58.3% purity level, and 10K is 41.7% purity level.

Not sure if your gold is real or fake? It's simple: Solid gold never tarnishes, while faux gold - or gold-plated metal - does.

Russia and Botswana have emerged as the top players in producing gem-quality diamonds. Australia, on the other hand, produces most industrial-quality diamonds. Similarly, diamonds are also found in the US, Siberia, Brazil, China, Canada, and more.

Flawless Flawless is the top grade in the GIA Clarity Grading System. Diamonds graded Flawless don't have visible inclusions or blemishes when examined under 10-power (10X) magnification by a skilled and experienced grader. As clarity increases, and if all other value factors are equal, diamond price per carat also increases.

Objects designed for the adornment of the body are called jewelry. While modern jewelry is made of gold, silver, or platinum, often with precious or semiprecious stones, it evolved from shells, animal teeth, and other items used as body decoration in prehistoric times.
