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

I went through this exact decision last year. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

Based on my experience: My ring came from Etsy with a full certificate. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. My jeweler recommended Tiffany. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
