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

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I went with Pandora 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.

Great question.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$100
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.
