Honestly, it depends on a few things. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

This is one of the most common questions I see here.

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.

Quick summary first, then details: I went with Blue Nile on Etsy and saved a lot. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

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 have heard good things about Etsy, but I personally used Amazon. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
