Quick summary first, then details: I bought mine from Amazon for about $800. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Good thinking asking this before buying. I ordered from Charles & Colvard online. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

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

Quick summary first, then details:

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.
