Sensitive skin, so that matters to me. Any recommendations from people who actually own one?

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

Trying not to overspend on an engagement ring. 5 answers · 0 selected

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

    Does the same apply to plated pieces?

Honestly, it depends on a few things.

My Setup

I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.

What to Watch Out For

  • Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
  • Ask about the color grade before you order
  • Get a certificate of authenticity

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.
