Can I shower with a silver necklace? Edited

I have had mine for over two years now.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Honestly, it depends on a few things.

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

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.

Let me break this down clearly.

Price Breakdown

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.
