Here is my honest take after owning one. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

M Madison Turner last weekWhat about silver specifically?
Good thinking asking this before buying. My ring came from Tiffany with a full certificate. 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.
I talked to my jeweler about this last month. I ordered from Tiffany online. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I have had mine for over two years now. A friend of mine got hers from Blue Nile and loves it. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
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 have heard good things about James Allen, but I personally used Charles & Colvard. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

After trying several options myself,
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $800 |
| 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.
