Are diamond earrings worth the money?

After trying several options myself, My jeweler recommended James Allen. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

I went through this exact decision last year. 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. I bought mine from Charles & Colvard for about $8,000. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

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

I will give you the straight answer.

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.
