After trying several options myself, Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I talked to my jeweler about this last month. My ring came from Amazon with a full certificate. 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.

Quick summary first, then details: I compared Charles & Colvard and Amazon before deciding. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
