Sensitive skin, so that matters to me. Any recommendations from people who actually own one?

This is one of the most common questions I see here. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I have heard good things about Brilliant Earth, but I personally used Charles & Colvard. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. My jeweler recommended Amazon. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

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