Great question. I went with Pandora on Etsy and saved a lot. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Good thinking asking this before buying. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I compared Charles & Colvard and Brilliant Earth before deciding. 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.
