I went through this exact decision last year.

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.

I went through this exact decision last year.

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.

Short answer: My jeweler recommended Amazon. 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.
