I went through this exact decision last year. I bought mine from Pandora for about $8,000. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Let me break this down clearly.
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $800 |
| 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 what I have found after researching for weeks. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Short answer: 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.
It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
