Good thinking asking this before buying. I bought mine from Etsy for about $500. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I have heard good things about Blue Nile, but I personally used Tiffany. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

After trying several options myself, My ring came from James Allen with a full certificate. 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.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I went with Amazon on Etsy and saved a lot. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

I will give you the straight answer. My jeweler recommended Amazon. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
