I have had mine for over two years now.
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $800 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x more |
| Plated alternative | $20-$50 but will tarnish |
Recommendation
If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I compared Brilliant Earth and Etsy before deciding. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
