I will give you the straight answer. I ordered from Pandora online. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

    I disagree, my experience was completely different.

I will give you the straight answer.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

Let me break this down clearly. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

I will give you the straight answer. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I went with Tiffany on Etsy and saved a lot. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

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