I went through this exact decision last year. I ordered from Blue Nile online. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.
Let me break this down clearly.
My Setup
I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.
What to Watch Out For
- Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
- Ask about the color grade before you order
- Get a certificate of authenticity
My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.
Here is my honest take after owning one. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
This is one of the most common questions I see here. I ordered from Amazon online. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
Quick summary first, then details: My jeweler recommended Amazon. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
