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

Good thinking asking this before buying. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

I went through this exact decision last year. A friend of mine got hers from James Allen and loves it. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

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