Let me break this down clearly.

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.

Quick summary first, then details: Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

I will give you the straight answer. I bought mine from Pandora for about $1,500. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

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.

Step by Step

  1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
  2. Check the return policy on the listing
  3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
  4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
  5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.
