Here is my honest take after owning one. I have heard good things about Amazon, but I personally used Tiffany. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

    Does this apply to 14k gold too?

I went through this exact decision last year.

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.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I compared Amazon and Charles & Colvard before deciding. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
