This is best for occasional wear, since plating may wear off with constant use.

If you opt for rose gold, the central stone will be a sparkling cubic zirconia.

Its one of the more expensive options on this list.

The stone measures 8 x 6 millimeters and is surrounded by a halo of smaller cubic zirconias.

The ring ticks every practical box too: its comfortable, non-marking, and relatively snag-free.

The latter is made from nickel-free, non-marking sterling silver with rounded edges for all-day comfort.

Smaller cubic zirconias on the shimmering, pave-set band add to the overall effect.

Whichever you go for, the ring is 100 percent hypoallergenic.

This, together with superior craftsmanship and a lifetime warranty, helps to justify the higher price tag.

Crislu Cubic Zirconia Ring

Its best as a vacation replacement or for occasional wear since tarnishing is likely after prolonged use.

It features a 1-carat, princess-cut moissanite stone that stands out for its square shape and brilliant sparkle.

Opting for the white gold band may make any tarnishing or worn spots less noticeable.

Its complemented by a sterling silver band with a full circle of pave-set stones.

The central stone is flanked by two 3.5-millimeter, round-cut cubic zirconias.

The three stones are set on a sterling silver band, which is rhodium-plated for extra durability and shine.

We also like that its plain rather than pave-set, adding to the simple elegance of the overall aesthetic.

The ring comes in a wide range of sizes and wont stain since its nickel free.

It doesnt offer the same statement-making bling as some of the larger, flashier options on this list.

For the pave-set band, options include regular, yellow-tone, or rose-tone sterling silver.

A rounded inside edge offers all-day comfort.

The style is more wedding band than engagement ring.

While much cheaper than a larger or more elaborate ring, its still expensive for a stand-in.

Keep costs down by going as small and simple as possible with this ring from Italic.

When you come home, get your moneys worth by continuing to wear the ring as a pretty stacker.

Its best for those that like their jewelry to be subtle.

Its Butterfly Mark Certified, which means its been independently verified as meeting high sustainability standards.

It has good social and environmental impact ratings and uses 100 percent recycled silver and/or gold.

Its small enough to be affordable and slip under the radar of potential pickpockets.

We love the bands nature-inspired undulations and the peace of mind afforded by a five-year warranty.

The large central stone on the engagement ring prevents the two pieces from sitting completely flush.

Its radiant cut for a high degree of sparkle thats accentuated by the matching, pave-set wedding band.

The band can also be bought separately with yellow or rose gold plating.

Sizing can run a little large.

There are numerous benefits to choosing a silicone ring as a stand-in for the real thing.

Colors range from metal dupes like gold and silver to unique shades like pastel green or dark purple.

Colors are limited, with no option for imitating silver or white gold jewelry.

Its quite a bit wider and heavier than most rings on this list.

The ring can also be engraved on the interior surface if you wish.

However, wearing too much bling can make you a target for theft while traveling to an unfamiliar place.

To avoid becoming a victim, simple is often best.

Rinse the ring carefully, using the cloth to wipe away any dirt before patting it dry.

The most frequently used diamond dupes include cubic zirconia, moissanite, and Swarovski crystal.

Look for 5A machine-cut or high-quality hand-cut cubic zirconias for the closest match to real diamond.
