Let me break this down clearly. 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 went with Tiffany on Etsy and saved a lot. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

After trying several options myself, I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I compared James Allen and Blue Nile before deciding. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
