Honestly, it depends on a few things.

My Setup

I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.

What to Watch Out For

  • Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
  • Ask about the color grade before you order
  • Get a certificate of authenticity

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I bought mine from Amazon for about $5,000. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Short answer:

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I compared Pandora and Brilliant Earth before deciding. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

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