Honestly, it depends on a few things. I have heard good things about Blue Nile, but I personally used Amazon. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

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

Good thinking asking this before buying.

Price Breakdown

OptionTypical Cost
Lab created$100
Natural stone5-10x 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.
