Good thinking asking this before buying. I bought mine from Charles & Colvard for about $100. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
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.
This is one of the most common questions I see here. I compared James Allen and Amazon before deciding. Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Based on my experience: Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
