Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I compared Charles & Colvard and Brilliant Earth before deciding. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
I went through this exact decision last year. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
I have had mine for over two years now. I bought mine from Amazon for about $100. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
