I talked to my jeweler about this last month. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Based on my experience:

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

    Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Quick summary first, then details: I went with Tiffany on Etsy and saved a lot. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

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

I have had mine for over two years now. I bought mine from Blue Nile for about $300. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
