Great question. I ordered from Amazon online. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

After trying several options myself, I have heard good things about Charles & Colvard, but I personally used Brilliant Earth. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Quick summary first, then details: A friend of mine got hers from Blue Nile and loves it. 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.

Quick summary first, then details: My jeweler recommended James Allen. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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

I talked to my jeweler about this last month.

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.
