This is one of the most common questions I see here. My ring came from Blue Nile with a full certificate. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

I will give you the straight answer. I compared Blue Nile and Brilliant Earth before deciding. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I compared Blue Nile and Pandora before deciding. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I have heard good things about Etsy, but I personally used Pandora. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Great question. I went with James Allen on Etsy and saved a lot. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.
