I have been researching for weeks and still cannot decide. Budget is flexible but I do not want to overpay.

Let me break this down clearly.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month.

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.

I have had mine for over two years now. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
