What do appraisers actually check?

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.

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.

Great question.

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.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I have heard good things about James Allen, but I personally used Tiffany. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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