How tight should a pendant sit?

Here is my honest take after owning one. I compared Etsy and Brilliant Earth before deciding. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

Based on my experience: A friend of mine got hers from Tiffany and loves it. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Quick summary first, then details: My jeweler recommended Amazon. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

Short answer: It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Honestly, it depends on a few things.

What I Noticed

The sparkle is actually more brilliant than a diamond in my opinion, especially under indoor lighting. Up close, nobody has ever guessed it was not a natural stone.

Cost

I paid $500 including the setting. A comparable natural diamond would have been at least five times that. The price difference is the main reason most people go this route.

Durability

It is still going strong after two years. I clean it once a month with warm soapy water and a soft brush. No scratches, no cloudiness.

Who This Is For

• Great if you want maximum sparkle on a budget
• Great if you do not care about resale value
• Skip it if you want something that holds investment value

This is one of the most common questions I see here. I went with Blue Nile on Etsy and saved a lot. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
