After trying several options myself, My jeweler recommended Tiffany. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Let me break this down clearly.

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.
