Let me break this down clearly. 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.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I went with Blue Nile on Etsy and saved a lot. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

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

Based on my experience: My ring came from Pandora with a full certificate. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
