Honestly, it depends on a few things.
Step by Step
- Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
- Check the return policy on the listing
- Order a size slightly larger if unsure
- Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
- Store separately to avoid scratches
I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

After trying several options myself, My jeweler recommended Pandora. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Let me break this down clearly. My ring came from Etsy with a full certificate. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Good thinking asking this before buying.
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $5,000 |
| 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.
