Great question. I bought mine from James Allen for about $800. 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.

Quick summary first, then details: I ordered from James Allen online. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

I went through this exact decision last year. I ordered from Tiffany online. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I went with Etsy on Etsy and saved a lot. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
