Quick summary first, then details: I have heard good things about Tiffany, but I personally used Pandora. I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Let me break this down clearly.

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.

I will give you the straight answer.

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.
