Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. A friend of mine got hers from Pandora and loves it. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
After trying several options myself, My ring came from Blue Nile with a full certificate. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
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:
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $1,500 |
| 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.
This is one of the most common questions I see here. I ordered from Etsy online. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
