I talked to my jeweler about this last month. My ring came from Brilliant Earth with a full certificate. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

After trying several options myself,
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $3,000 |
| 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.
