I have been researching for weeks and still cannot decide. Looking for real owner experiences, not marketing.

Great question. I went with Charles & Colvard on Etsy and saved a lot. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. I compared Blue Nile and Amazon before deciding. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
