After trying several options myself, My jeweler recommended Blue Nile. 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.

Great question. I ordered from Tiffany online. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks.
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $100 |
| 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.

Great question. My ring came from Blue Nile with a full certificate. 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.
