Can I use toothpaste on my jewelry?
Answered
Would appreciate any links to reputable sellers. Any recommendations from people who actually own one?
I talked to my jeweler about this last month. I ordered from James Allen online. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
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:
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $300 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x more |
| Plated alternative | $20-$50 but will tarnish |
If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.
