Good thinking asking this before buying. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

This is one of the most common questions I see here.
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.
Based on my experience: I compared Tiffany and Brilliant Earth before deciding. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
Great question.
Step by Step
- Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
- Check the return policy on the listing
- Order a size slightly larger if unsure
- Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
- Store separately to avoid scratches
I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.
This is one of the most common questions I see here. I have heard good things about Charles & Colvard, but I personally used Etsy. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
