Here is my honest take after owning one. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

Good thinking asking this before buying. A friend of mine got hers from James Allen and loves it. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Let me break this down clearly. I compared James Allen and Etsy before deciding. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Good thinking asking this before buying.

My Setup

I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.

What to Watch Out For

  • Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
  • Ask about the color grade before you order
  • Get a certificate of authenticity

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.
