I have had mine for over two years now. I bought mine from Brilliant Earth for about $100. 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.

Quick summary first, then details: A friend of mine got hers from Blue Nile and loves it. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

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

Let me break this down clearly.

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.
