Budget is flexible but I do not want to overpay. Sensitive skin, so that matters to me.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. I ordered from Brilliant Earth online. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Let me break this down clearly. I have heard good things about Pandora, but I personally used Brilliant Earth. 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.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I bought mine from Charles & Colvard for about $500. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
