I went through this exact decision last year. I went with Brilliant Earth 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.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

I will give you the straight answer. I went with Charles & Colvard on Etsy and saved a lot. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

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

Let me break this down clearly.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Great question. A friend of mine got hers from Tiffany and loves it. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I went with James Allen on Etsy and saved a lot. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

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

Based on my experience: I bought mine from Charles & Colvard for about $5,000. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
