Let me break this down clearly.
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $300 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x 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.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Quick summary first, then details: I have heard good things about Brilliant Earth, but I personally used Etsy. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
