This is one of the most common questions I see here. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$8,000
Natural stone5-10x more
Plated alternative$20-$50 but will tarnish

Recommendation

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.
