Let me break this down clearly. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

A Amy Lee May 27, 2026Does this apply to 14k gold too?
After trying several options myself, I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.
Great question. I went with Tiffany on Etsy and saved a lot. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
Great question.
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.
