Quick summary first, then details: I went with Amazon on Etsy and saved a lot. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

After trying several options myself,

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

This is one of the most common questions I see here. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Here is my honest take after owning one. I compared Tiffany and Charles & Colvard before deciding. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

I will give you the straight answer. I compared Tiffany and James Allen before deciding. 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.
