Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$800
Natural stone5-10x 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.
