S 4 weeks agoWhat about Amazon, is that okay?
Great question.
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $5,000 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x more |
| Plated alternative | $20-$50 but will tarnish |
Recommendation
If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.
