Based on my experience: My jeweler recommended Brilliant Earth. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

After trying several options myself, I ordered from Etsy online. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I have heard good things about Amazon, but I personally used Brilliant Earth. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
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:
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.

Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $300 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x more |
| Plated alternative | $20-$50 but will tarnish |
Recommendation
If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.
