Can a jeweler tell a lab diamond apart?

After trying several options myself, Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I went with Pandora on Etsy and saved a lot. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Let me break this down clearly. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
