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.

Based on my experience:
Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $3,000 |
| 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.

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

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. I bought mine from Etsy for about $500. 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.
