Would appreciate any links to reputable sellers. Sensitive skin, so that matters to me.

Mom buying first earrings for my daughter. 97 answers · 10 selected

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. My ring came from Brilliant Earth with a full certificate. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

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

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I ordered from Pandora online. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

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

Trying not to overspend on an engagement ring. 3 answers · 0 selected

I have had mine for over two years now. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Here is my honest take after owning one. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
