Honestly, it depends on a few things.

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.
