Step by Step
- Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying

Short answer: I went with Blue Nile on Etsy and saved a lot. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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

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