Sensitive skin, so that matters to me. Any recommendations from people who actually own one?

Good thinking asking this before buying. I went with Etsy on Etsy and saved a lot. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I bought mine from James Allen for about $1,500. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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

Great question.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$300
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.
