How do I negotiate factory pricing?

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I have heard good things about Amazon, but I personally used Pandora. 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.

After trying several options myself, My ring came from Brilliant Earth with a full certificate. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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