Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Here is my honest take after owning one.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$5,000
Natural stone5-10x 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.

I have had mine for over two years now. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
