Based on my experience: My ring came from Etsy with a full certificate. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Short answer: It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Based on my experience: I bought mine from Amazon for about $300. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
