I want a rough price range so I do not get ripped off. What should I actually pay?

Care is easy: warm water, mild dish soap, soft brush. Avoid chlorine pools, bleach, and acetone on the setting. Moissanite itself is tougher than most gems but the prongs and metal are the weak point. Check prongs once a year.

I have a 2ct Forever One and I absolutely wear it every day. Gym, gardening, cooking, all of it. The stone has never chipped. Just take it off for heavy lifting so you do not bend the prongs.
